The cover, also by Avison and Shores, captures the high-stakes danger in a single, chilling image.
In "Bowling Alley of Death!", Jo, a nobleman with a deadly twist on recreation, turns his exclusive alley into a trap where hollowed-out bowling pins double as .22 guns, launching deadly projectiles at his targets. With democracy as his enemy, Gigo's game of murder takes a sharp turn when Captain America and Bucky intervene, bringing his twisted sport to an end—though not before the heroes face the full force of his rigged setup.
In "The Tomb of Horror!", Steve and Bucky are sent on a mission with Sgt. Duffy to escort a professor to the pyramids, where he hopes to uncover a legendary hieroglyphic. As they journey through the desert, danger lurks in the ancient ruins—where every shadow seems to hold a secret.
In this 1942 humor tale from *Captain America Comics* #18, Percy takes a trip to the local circus and, on a whim, aims his slingshot at the gorilla—only to find the prank leads to unexpectedly wild consequences.
In "Enter: The Fighting Fool," former Anzac soldier Wade Huston, wounded in both lungs during combat, leaves behind his military past to confront a new kind of enemy—fifth columnists lurking in America. Determined to fight for justice even without a uniform, he takes up a dangerous mission that tests his resolve and courage.
In "The Case of the 'Costumed Crook'," a clever disguise scheme puts the Secret Stamp's identity at risk when two crooks knock out Roddy, steal his costume, and use it to infiltrate a high-stakes party—only to target a priceless jewel collection. With the real hero out of commission, the impostors play their part perfectly, but the truth is never far behind.
