Story: “Fly Girl Meets the Comet” (6 pages)
Editor: John Goldwater
Writer: Jerry Siegel
Artist: John Giunta
Feature Character: Fly Girl (next chronological appearance in MIGHTY CRUSADERS #7 (third story))
GS: The Comet (last chronological appearance in MIGHTY CRUSADERS #2 (second story)), the Fly (next chronological appearance in MIGHTY CRUSADERS #3 (second story))
Comments: Since the Comet, as shown in MIGHTY CRUSADERS #2, is in reality an Earthman, the statement in this story that he has an “Altroxian brain-structure” is obviously false.
 Even though the Comet says he is leaving to wed an Altroxian girl, he obviously does not do so, since he is back in the next issue.
 The second story in MIGHTY CRUSADERS #2 and another story in THE COMET #1 explain how the Comet of the 1940s was transformed into the Comet of the 1960's and beyond.
Synopsis: An Altroxian monarch, the Comet, comes to Earth in hopes of taking Fly Girl back to his homeworld as his queen.

Comment: The statement that the Metal Master was killed by Fly Girl shortly after her origin is untrue, as he appeared several more times with the Anti-Fly League.  Obviously, his death occurred after his last appearance, in issue #23.  His appearance is altered in this story from a metallic cubist being to a standard humanoid.
