Just what does 1937 have in store for Doctor Occult? Not much, I’m afraid.

More Fun Comics 022, in which Occult seemingly dies but is in fact one of the victims of the Lord of Life’s extortion scheme, establishes a bit more about the relationship between him and Rose Psychic, to whit, that she was/is in love with him. This has no impact on any subsequent appearance of either character.

More Fun Comics 032 also features a development in the character of Rose Psychic: the first indication that she too possesses magical powers like Doctor Occult’s. The two spend the issue testing out Occult’s new crime detection device before voyaging into the unknown to follow up a lead, but despite the assurance that the story is “To Be Continued -” neither character shows up again for at least forty years.
