In "Blood Jewels of the Fire-Bird," treasure hunters descend on Kaänga’s jungle, desperate to find the wreckage of a long-lost plane rumored to hold priceless jewels. With the help of Kaänga, the wreck is raised—but the hunters’ greed leads to a deadly reckoning. Ann, haunted by the past, refuses to face the truth hidden in the plane’s manifest, choosing instead to burn it. Written by Frank Riddell and illustrated by John Celardo, with inks by Celardo, Myron Strauss, and Maurice Whitman, this 1946 thriller blends peril and mystery beneath Joe Doolin’s striking cover.
