☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeChampion Comics #4 is an anthology issue featuring multiple stories. One story follows a character named Penny who is kidnapped by a fortune teller named Nina after being forced to read a cable that causes her to disappear; Penny escapes through resourcefulness and encounters a wood-cutter who becomes involved in a plot with criminals and military figures discussing the capture of a runaway nephew and reward money, ultimately leading to a confrontation in the woods. The issue also includes an educational feature titled "Ships of the Desert" that discusses camel stamps from various countries, highlighting triangle-shaped postage stamps from desert regions including French Somaliland and Italian colonies.
The Champ finds himself caught in the sinister web of the Yellow Spider, a mysterious criminal mastermind who demands Doctor Marlin's secret formula—the source of the Champ's extraordinary strength—or threatens his life by midnight. Kidnapped aboard a flying bullet-ship and bound before a giant glowing spider projection, the Champ must face off against this unknown adversary and his army of Oriental henchmen while Detective Harrigan races against time back at headquarters to uncover the truth. With a deadly dwarf messenger loose in the police station and the clock ticking toward the deadline, the stage is set for a high-flying battle of wits and will.
When diamonds start turning up hidden in banana shipments from a jungle plantation, Bill Handy smells smuggling—and he's determined to get to the bottom of it. Handy goes undercover with an audacious plan to catch the operation red-handed, but when his disguise is blown and his partner Pug lands in serious trouble, things escalate fast into a desperate rescue that puts everyone's lives on the line. It's a high-stakes chase through the jungle and into town that will test Handy's wits and nerve.
