Trained by a retired secret agent of the government, Jimmy Malone dons a black hood and cape sending fear into the hearts of evildoers, as he battles the underworld in the tradition of a modern day Shadow or Spider. Burning eyes, a whispered voice, a mocking laugh, and blazing automatics announce his entrance into an affray. Gangsters cringe when they come up against the guns of the Black Ghost! The vast chamber was filled with a mocking laugh as the Black Ghost issued his challenge to gangdom. The weird mirth rose to a crescendo, reverberating throughout the building, echoing in the silent void of space. Gang members looked about the shop like hunted animals on opening season in the woods. A chorus of shouts rang out as they spotted the intrepid fighter in black. "The Black Ghost!" burst from a dozen lips at once, and murderous hands dug for guns beneath their tunics.
