Sheena returns to her jungle domain only to find the tribe deceived by a wax figure of herself, orchestrated by the returning villain Bronson, who has seized control of the mines and taken Bob Reynolds captive. As Bronson schemes to force her to reveal the location of buried treasure, Sheena must outwit his traps and illusions while racing to rescue Bob before he’s tortured.
Flying Officer Hoguchi, posing as a Japanese chemist, infiltrates a poison gas factory under the guise of a returning defector, using his brother’s identity to gain access—only to be exposed when his impostor brother arrives unexpectedly, forcing him to improvise before the truth is revealed. With time running out and the factory preparing to unleash deadly gas, Hoguchi must outwit his captors and use the very weapon meant to destroy his allies to turn the tide.
Capt. Hawk and Velvet arrive at the wharf to find the fishermen shunning them, learning too late that a pirate named Tattoo demands tribute from all who fish there. When Hawk confronts Tattoo aboard his ship, the villain’s crew attacks, but Velvet’s quick thinking and the crew’s determination turn the tide. The story builds to a tense chase and confrontation, with the Lady Scarlett fighting to reclaim justice for the fishermen.
In "Scared Stiff!" from Jumbo Comics #81, Ginger Jeff finds herself in a tense situation when she’s shot down over Burma and must make an emergency landing. With no choice but to seek help, she ventures into a nearby temple—only to start questioning whether the ancient ruins are truly abandoned, or if something far more unsettling is watching from the shadows.
In "Flee the Mad Furies," the gypsy girl Rowena calls upon swamp ghosts with black magic to eliminate those who stand in her path. Drew Murdoch must find a way to turn the very spirits she commands against her before they claim their next victim.
