When a chance encounter in a boxing gym leads to an unexpected bout, he’s thrust into the ring—no longer just a man on a quest, but a fighter in a world where every punch could be a step closer to the truth. Written and illustrated by Fletcher Hanks, this 1940 classic blends gritty action with a personal mystery, while Nick Cardy’s dynamic cover captures the intensity of the moment.
Chip Collins and his Skull Squad prepare to fly home to America from China, but a traitor in their midst has made a pact with a villainous Chinese man to ensure they never make it back—leading to a midair ambush over the Pacific. Stranded on a remote island after the sabotage, Chip must contend with the cunning villain who's already repaired the stolen plane and is determined to finish what he started. It's a race against time as Chip fights to reclaim his aircraft and survive against an enemy who seems always one step ahead.
Jim Braddock and Joe Louis square off in the ring for what Fight Comics calls one of the most puzzling bouts in boxing history. Braddock brings the cunning and ring intelligence of an experienced veteran, while Louis brings raw youth and power—though he's still prone to losing his head under pressure. Watch two fighters from opposite sides of the ring prepare to test which style will prevail.
Slug-Nutty Sam dreams of escaping his troubles, but when he learns he's been signed up to fight the terrifying Joe the Shrimp, he bolts for the docks and sets sail to get away from it all. His desperate voyage takes an absurd turn when he stows away on a ship bound for China, only to discover that no matter how far he runs, fate—and Joe the Shrimp—have a way of catching up. It's a wild romp of mistaken identity, homesickness, and circular logic that proves you can't outrun your problems, especially when they're as determined as a vengeful boxer.
Big Red hits the streets of Frisco chasing a past romance with his former fiancée, Sally Breen, but fate has other plans—when he accidentally breaks a boxer’s jaw during a spar, he’s thrust into a fight he didn’t sign up for. The ring becomes his unlikely stage as he faces off against a tough opponent, all while the city’s secrets and old ties keep pulling him back.
