Blonde Phantom Comics #21 (1949)

Louise Grant is working in the office of her employer Mark Mason hoping that Mark will ask her out on a date. She gets more than she bargained for when he bursts in and asks her to accompany him to the Fair of the Future being put on by Professor Kall to show off new inventions. They rush to the fair where they find that many upstanding members of society such as scientists, politicians and celebrities are also on hand. Professor Kall invites them to board his newly invented rocket ship. When they are all aboard, he tells them that it is really a time machine and transports them to the 30th Century. There they find armed guards waiting for them. Louise slips away to change into the Blonde Phantom. They are soon all captured by the guards who take them to a zoo where they are to be put on display so that the future people can learn about the 20th Century. With the guards treating them with utter contempt due to their "primitive" natures, Blonde Phantom tricks one of them into turning off the force field that keeps her in her cell and jumps him. She then steals his uniform and uses it to escape the zoo. She then uses a teleportation system to transport herself to the home of the Excellency. There she gets inside his home and finds that he has been monitoring her progress. He then tells her that their advanced society is completely automated eliminating the need for free thought. The Blonde Phantom then comes up with a way to defeat him. Soon, the Blonde Phantom and the Excellency arrive at the zoo and free the captives. They then all board the ship and the Excellency is forced to send them back to the present, telling the Blonde Phantom they will all forget except for her and that he is accompanying her to prevent him from committing the same acts again. Louise wakes up in the present with Mark in the office. Mark does not remember what happened, but tells Louise that somebody is there for her: the Excellency.
