☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features "The Black Terror," a superhero with electrical powers who battles Japanese forces during World War II, as described in a military briefing about striking at the heart of enemy operations in the Pacific. A "Pyroman" story shows Dr. Randall's laboratory where radium undergoes isotope conversion, with the end product of helium being diverted to city hospitals via armored car, leading to complications when the vehicle is hijacked. "The Fighting Yank" story depicts a car crash and subsequent investigation, with characters discussing clues related to a subscriber list address at 69 Maple Road, prompting them to pursue the matter further.
When a valuable formula falls into enemy hands, Pyroman teams up with Joyce Clark's father to set a trap—but the Japanese agent Nakaki and his operatives have already anticipated their move. With the formula stolen and his allies captured, Pyroman must pursue the villains across borders and battle their way to a final confrontation to recover what was taken. It's a high-octane race against the clock where Pyroman's electrical powers face cunning preparation and desperate odds.
