☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeKnockout Comics #434 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. "Deed a Day Danny" follows a boy who overcomes his fear of riding a bicycle and takes a ride through town, only to encounter a motor race on a closed road and accidentally become involved in chaos that forces him to sell his bike to pay damages. "Billy Bunter Goes Into Training" depicts the titular character undergoing boxing training with comical mishaps, including sleeping through alarms and physical comedy with his trainer. The issue also contains a Robin Hood adventure in which Prince John's forces capture King Richard, and a Sexton Blake story titled "The Case of the Tropical Treasure," in which Blake and Tinker pursue crooks who have kidnapped a girl and stolen the secret of a tropical treasure, tracking them to an aircraft headed for Africa.
Billy Bunter signs up at Spike Sanders' boxing school, drawn more by the promise of food than any serious athletic ambition—but he neglects to read the fine print on his enrollment form. What could possibly go wrong when a boy more interested in the menu than the training decides to take up boxing?
While King Richard the Lion-Heart fights in the Crusades, his scheming brother Prince John plots to seize the throne—and his hatred of the Saxons reaches a boiling point at a jousting tournament in Nottingham Castle. When the Saxon knight Sir Robin of Locksley defeats the Norman champion Sir Guy of Gisbourne in front of Prince John and the fair Lady Marian, tensions explode and accusations of foul play fly. Robin must navigate the dangerous court politics and uncover the truth behind the match, all while the Prince's grip on power tightens.
Sexton Blake and Tinker pursue a gang of crooks who've kidnapped a young woman holding the secret to a tropical treasure, chasing them by aircraft across the desert toward Africa. When a violent storm forces both planes down in the Nigerian bush, Blake and Tinker must navigate on foot to find the crooks—only to discover the villagers have already captured them, leaving Blake to figure out his next move.
When a magical grub—created by consuming the enchanted apple-core—wreaks havoc, Stonehenge Kit and his companions find themselves stranded at Brickdust Palace and forced to strike a bargain with the Emperor. With the Emperor's help secured and a royal barge at their disposal, Kit and his chums set their sights on a journey back home to Stonehenge.
