Additionally, the issue contains a text story titled "Young Carpenter" by Charles S. Strong, in which young Gilbert Walker outwits two bandits who attempt to rob wealthy diamond dealer Spencer Dearborn at an isolated construction site on Mesa Verde.
When ancient Egyptian curses threaten New York, Doc Strange must uncover the truth behind a haunted museum and a stolen pharaoh's ruby—before Hassan the Bald and his criminal gang claim it for themselves. As ghostly apparitions terrorize Doctor Anthony Pennock's collection and Virginia Thompson stumbles onto a deadly mystery, Doc Strange uses his extraordinary powers to separate supernatural legend from criminal deception. There's more to this case than curse tablets and walking mummies, and only Doc can expose what's really going on.
Pyroman springs into action when a brutal gang war erupts over control of the slot machine racket, with the ruthless Bull Dawson mob clashing against Shorty Fields' operation—and the young hero finds himself caught between two criminal outfits while trying to protect the kids being cheated by rigged machines. After a harrowing encounter that leaves him seemingly helpless, Pyroman must fight his way out and bring both gangs to justice before their feud tears the neighborhood apart.
When a Treasury Department investigator uncovers evidence that racketeer Buddy Malone has cheated the government, he becomes a marked man—and the Fighting Yank must guard him through waves of assassination attempts before a crucial tax hearing. With his ancestor's magic cloak granting him protection, Bruce Carter III faces off against Malone's ruthless gang in a race to keep his friend alive long enough to testify.
