In a forgotten corner of an ancient Icelandic text, the legend of the Fantom stirs to life—only to emerge at the 1940 World's Fair, where he intervenes against a corrupt contractor scheming to sabotage a rival's promises. Written by the creators of the era and brought to life with period-accurate art, this eight-page tale weaves mystery and justice into a fleeting moment of heroism.
In this 1940 adventure from *Amazing Adventure Funnies #1*, Professor Carter pleads with Sir Conway to return the giant white ape to its Arctic home before it escapes—yet the creature breaks free from the Fair’s zoo after its sedatives wear off, wreaking chaos across the grounds. When the situation spirals, the mysterious Fantom arrives to restore order.
In "null," written by a mysterious hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, space pilot Steele is dispatched to the remote planetary outpost Mannin on a mission from King Kurt to uncover the truth behind strange, unexplained bat raids. With no clear answers and danger lurking in the shadows, Steele must navigate a world where the familiar turns uncanny.
In "Part 1 - The Professors Enemy!" from Amazing Adventure Funnies #1 (1940), Professor Gray and his crew are flying home after tests on the experimental Air-Sub when they pass over Curley's land—only to be ordered to land, not to be destroyed.
In "null," The Arrow swings into action when a millionaire’s grown children are kidnapped by a gang of gamblers who’ve trapped them in a web of debt and coercion. With stealth and precision, the hero unravels the criminals’ scheme, racing to free the young heirs before their forced crimes turn deadly.
