Daring Adventures #9

Jim Connors, a former Marine turned history scholar, discovers an ancient legend about Mohowbi Bey, a warrior who fled Genghis Khan's brutality to find sanctuary in a remote Korean cavern filled with priceless cultural treasures. When the Korean War recalls Connors to active duty, he stumbles into that very cavern while separated from his unit—only to find it still guarded by forces far older and more mysterious than he bargained for. A compelling blend of history, warfare, and supernatural reckoning unfolds in this 1963 tale by Jay Disbrow.

Now the parchment has come to Gary, and Prentice desperately urges him not to read the mysterious characters inscribed upon it.
