“A Stowaway in Need”

In "A Stowaway in Need," Hope takes flight to track down the missing planes, only to crash in the mountains when the engine fails. Stranded and outnumbered, she and the pilot are captured by armed men led by a mysterious figure who claims to have disabled the aircraft with a Z Ray. With Littlejohn fighting to break free, Hope must hold her ground as they’re led through a hidden tunnel into a cavern where the Master awaits. The fate of the Z Ray—and their chance to escape—hangs in the balance. Cover by Creig Flessel, art by Alex Lovy.

Hope is called in to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three planes. She boards the next flight out, and, when over the mountains, the motor cuts out. After a rough landing she and the pilot are met by men with guns, the leader of whom tells how he used his Z Ray to cripple the planes. In a bend of the mountain ledge, Littlejohn attacks the leader, and Hope grabs the gun and holds the others at bay. Going through a tunnel, they come out above a cavern with men standing around the Master. Littlejohn wants to escape but Hope insists they find and destroy the Z Ray
