   Magno the Magnetic Man was the top hero in the Ace Magazines' line of comics. He was the star of Super-Mystery Comics, making his debut in the very first issue of that title. Along with his sidekick, Davey, Magno appeared in the first 29 issues of Super-Mystery Comics. The duo also appeared in Four Favorites 1-26.

   Not much was ever revealed about Magno or Davey. Magno was the master of all magnetism, but his secret identity, if he had one, was never mentioned.

   Magno and Davey fought one villain more than any other -- The Clown. This sinister madman made his first appearance in Super-Mystery Comics Vol. 1 No. 5.
