The War Over Beast Boy
Steve Dayton hires an investigator to dig up dirt on Galtry, Gar's corrupt guardian. Galtry is successful at blackmailing his associates into keeping their mouths shut and not disclosing anything.
Robotman, Negative Man, and Elasti-Girl battle Ultimax, a robot villain. In the midst of the fight he hits Elasti-Girl with a shrinking ray that causes her to shrink uncontrollably small, down to the atomic level. She finds herself in a sub-atomic world where she is sentenced to death. The king there offers to pardon her only if she will marry him.
The Chief, with some help from Robotman, Negative Man, and Mento, devises a cure for Rita's shrinking problem. Mento, her husband, shrinks down to the sub atomic level to find her.
Not quite the wacky romp that I like but there's definitely an element of the silly in this story.
The Race Against Dr. Death
Negative Man, in his pre-Doom Patrol days, has to stop Dr. Death. Only Negative Man's speed is able to beat the villain to the punch and destroy his weapon that threatens to destroy the Earth. This definitely feels sillier than the last installment in the early adventures of Negative Man.
