Blackhawk takes on a dangerous assignment to hunt down the Vulture, a ruthless desert outlaw who has terrorized caravans and tribes for years, only to discover that the threat runs deeper than expected when he arrives at a remote frontier fort. With his team back on the island, Blackhawk must navigate treachery, deception, and a cunning enemy to stop this desert tyrant before it's too late. This action-packed tale delivers intrigue, combat, and the kind of high-stakes adventure that made Blackhawk a wartime favorite.
A carnival operator hawking "moon rides" for a dime finds his juvenile attraction dismissed by a group of thrill-seeking servicemen—until they each sneak back one by one, unwilling to admit they've changed their minds. What starts as a simple motion-picture parlor trick becomes an unexpectedly popular success when the skeptics discover the ride delivers exactly the kind of excitement they were looking for.
In "null," Johnny finds himself on a sun-drenched beach, a year after his time in a military prison, trying to enjoy a quiet moment. When he attempts to flirt with a striking woman, the encounter takes a sudden turn—she’s an undercover officer, and Johnny’s freedom is short-lived.
