Synopsis for Ibis the Invincible: "The Revenge of Piang"

Ibis and Taia have arranged for their ward Tommy to enroll in a prestigious military academy, where they leave him. Meanwhile somewhere in the southwestern U.S., the evil sorcerer Piang is very surprised to find himself recovering from the fatal sword wound inflicted upon him by Ibis, just minutes earlier. He vow a terrible vengeance against Ibis and all his dear ones, then hitches a ride to the nearest city. In that city, Ibis and Taia are meeting with an official from the beleagured War Relief Committee, for whom Ibis conjures up a caravan of supply-laden trucks. From hiding, nearby, Piang observes this, and he's brought a bomb with him, and throws it. Ibis transforms it into a fat turkey, but makes no inquiry into its source.

That evening the War Relief Committee throws a banquet in Ibis and Taia's honor. Piang sneaks into the venue and uses a pole to dislodge a large chandelier, but Ibis magically catches it in a net, then hands his Ibistick to Taia and tests the net. In that split second, Piang leaps out and grabs the Ibistick away from Taia, then grabs Taia and wishes them away, to "the highest mountain in the land." He then conjures Ibis into his presence, and unwisely attempts to use the Ibistick against Ibis, which backfires on him nonfatally, as the stick flies out of his hand. The Ibistick falls over a cliff and into a mountain stream. Ibis and Piang grapple, each attempting to strangle the other. Piang cries out for aid from TYALPO, which does not come. The fight ends with Piang slipping and getting punched off the edge of a cliff.

Ibis and Taia make their way down the mountain to search for the Ibistick, but it's already been found and grabbed by an escaped convict, Grom Deeters. While he's still gloating about finding it, a pursuing posse catches up to him, but he conjures up a large batch of vipers to swarm over the deputies, and escapes. Ibis and Taia meet up with the posse, and Taia applies first aid to one bitten deputy. Leaving the posse, the two set out on foot, on the trail of Grom Deeters. As they cut thru a dense thicket, Deeters conjures up an old-west-style jailhouse to contain them, then steps to the window, to jeer at them in a threatening manner.

Notes

  • This series was published by Fawcett Publications. All characters and likeness(es) thereof associated with the Captain Marvel family of titles became the legal property of National Periodical Publications (DC Comics) in 1991.
  • Captain Marvel: "The Winged Death" is reprinted in 'The Shazam! Archives Vol. 1'.
    • In this story it is not revealed, or even hinted, that Beautia is Sivana's daughter.
    • This is Dr. Sivana's sixth mad scheme. He was last seen in Whiz Comics #6, and he next appears in Captain Marvel Adventures #1.
  • Golden Arrow:
    • Carol Braddock gets kidnapped for the first time.
    • For the first time, a villain notices how expensive G.A.'s arrows are, and decides to find and steal the source of them.
  • Ibis the Invincible:
    • Upon recovering from his recent death, Piang believes that all of his magical weapons have been destroyed, but he's outside of his lair, and hasn't actually checked on them yet. And Ibis' spell was "Let every thing be as it was before Piang transformed this place." So Piang's enchanted crystal, and his idol of TYALPO, might also now exist. Piang also believes that his magic powers are banished, which might or might not be true. The chronicles provide no further evidence either way.
    • Piang's bomb is a traditional black ball-shaped "Boris Badinov" bomb with a sputtering fuse.
    • Taia gets kidnapped for the fourth time.
    • We see Piang fall, but we don't see him land, and neither do Ibis or Taia.
  • Spy Smasher:
    • The Mask's warplanes have German emblems, and the pilots are named Reltih and Inillosum, but they speak some made-up foreign language. The flag flying above the Mask's secret army camp is white with black crossed bones. It's 1940.
    • Spy Smasher's Gyrosub has a Vacuum Attachment, for use in midair boarding of other aircraft.
  • Also featured in this issue of Whiz Comics were:
