The Ghost of the Fishing Ships!
8 pp

Temporarily assigned to the Coast Guard, Don Winslow and Red Pennington investigate when a fishing vessel's captain is found dead in the water—but the mystery deepens when a ghostly, phosphorescent figure begins appearing aboard the ship. As Don digs deeper into the strange occurrences surrounding a sunken treasure, he must separate supernatural superstition from something far more sinister lurking on deck.

Pete the ParrotCaptain Capricorn

Stranded on an island with Pete the Parrot and Captain Capricorn, Jetsam Joe accidentally smashes a sacred idol—and the natives demand his head. When Captain Capricorn devises a desperate plan to save him by painting Joe red and passing him off as the idol itself, Joe finds himself in the middle of an island legend with consequences neither of them saw coming. It's a wild ride of mistaken identity and narrow escapes that explains exactly how Joe earned the name "Holy Whosis."

Algiers Adventure
8.67 pp

Don Winslow and Red arrive in Algiers for shore leave and get caught up in a brawl at a rough dive when a woman's diamond necklace goes missing during the chaos. When the thief's clever trick to hide the stolen jewel backfires, Don must track down the culprit across the rooftops of the city to recover it and set things right.

Butter Forget It
0.5 pp · Humor

Boy Scout Bob spots a careless produce worker at the market and decides to give him a talking-to about doing his job right—convinced he's found his good deed for the day. When Bob warns the fellow that his boss might fire him for his sloppy work, the worker shrugs it all off with a joke that leaves Bob shaking his head. It's a lighthearted lesson in responsibility that doesn't quite go the way the scout intended.
