Rocky Stone

Rocky Stone was the star reporter of the Star-Ledger who depended on his fists and wits to gather front page stories. Stone and his pal Frank Doyle were asked by Helen Gordan to investigate Gordan Manor, which she believed to be haunted by the Evil Eye. However, the Evil Eye in fact followed Helen to Rocky’s office. Even though Stone was a crack shot, the ghost seemed to dodge every bullet he fired. After the monster left, Rocky flipped a coin to decide if he would take the case. It landed on heads, so Frank and Rocky agreed to help Helen with her ghost problem. Rocky and Frank headed straight for Gordan Manor and began to take a look around. They discovered, behind a secret panel, a hidden fortune in jewels. The duo was confronted by the Evil Eye, who, after making threats, proceeded to run away. As they followed the ghost, a flash fire broke out, forcing the Evil Eye, Rocky, and Frank to vacate the manor. From the roof of the manor, Rocky saw the Evil Eye trip. Rocky leapt from a tree to apprehend the villain. After taking down the Evil Eye, Helen and a police officer arrived to witness Rocky unmask the villain as Harms, the old caretaker of the Gordan estate. Note: Rocky Stone was a re-printed and re-named Lucky Coyne. Other Lucky Coyne stories were also re-named and re-colored as Kensington Slade and Jinx Jordan.
