☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Robber of Rainbow Buttes!" kicks off in Manhunt #11 (1948), a standout issue from Magazine Enterprises featuring art by Joe Shuster and Frank Bolle, with both artists also handling inks. The cover, by Paul Parker, showcases a dynamic scene that complements the story’s Western thriller tone. This issue is part of a rich era of pulp-inspired adventure comics, with a house ad for Funnyman #6 and Tim Holt #1/A-1 #14 — each with notable cover variations from their published versions.
When international spies infiltrate Canada's secret Hawk River atomic research facility, Sergeant Jeffrey Fox of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police must uncover the saboteurs before they can steal vital blueprints—but a cunning operative named Margot has already made off with the plans, and Fox must pursue her across treacherous northern waters with nothing but his wits and a paddle. As the chase intensifies toward the river, Fox discovers a stunning solution that transforms the spy's desperate escape into something far more costly than she ever imagined.
Jim Fallon of the F.B.I. arrives in the small town of Bellton to hunt down three deadly criminals—a woman named Bella and two men—who've already robbed a drugstore and murdered its owner, leaving the town's exhausted single policeman reeling. When Jim takes over the lawman's duties, he discovers the trio has grown bold enough to strike at a local dance hall, forcing him into a gunfight to stop them from escaping. As a crucial clue—an oddly sized shoe—leads Jim closer to his quarry, the hunters become the hunted on Bellton's tense, silent streets.
In "Anubis, The Assassin!" from Manhunt #11 (1948), Inspector Kirk investigates the suspicious death of Dr. Barnes, a case that takes a chilling turn when the doctor’s final moments hint at something far beyond mortal hands—was this a murder, or did the ancient god Anubis answer a forbidden call?
