☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains multiple crime and adventure stories. "Criminals on the Run" features fugitives escaping in a runaway vehicle through a forest that catches fire, forcing them to leap to safety. Another story involves Namok discovering the body of famous Eskimo hunter Beck, leading to a murder investigation where Beck's guide Snoupe becomes a suspect when a spear wound suggests foul play. The issue also includes a comedic story featuring a bumbling detective character in a red suit pursuing the theft of a "Donna Tisa," with Inspector Klooz attempting to catch the thief.
King Cole and his partner Iris Norland investigate a series of mysterious drownings at Happy Lake, where electric eels—native only to South America—have been planted, leading King to suspect murder. After narrowly escaping the deadly creatures, King discovers a cut lapel flower at the scene, linking the crime to a suspect who later enters the office of Happy Lake’s president, Harry Owen. As King and Ursus Graham pursue the suspect, they uncover a conspiracy involving sabotage and threats, but the true mastermind remains hidden.
