"Zudo, Jungle Boy" features the young hero forced by native warriors to dig for shiny stones in underground mines; when he discovers the stones are actually being sought by an evil spirit controlling the tribe, he must find a way to help free the natives from its control. "Wonderman" is captured by enemy forces and subjected to a vacuum chamber torture device, but he escapes and uses the device against his captors before battling his way out. "King of Futuria" depicts a blue-skinned alien protagonist who plants explosives aboard enemy ships and battles hostile alien creatures on a distant planet, ultimately forcing a retreat to the stratosphere to escape encirclement.
Meet Jack Manning, a brilliant young scientist at the Plastic Corporation of America who stumbles onto a dangerous conspiracy when he catches an intruder stealing specialized wire—only to discover it's the supposedly disgraced Professor Marlowe, a former company research expert now hiding in a mountain laboratory. When Jack learns that Marlowe was framed for murders and that the real culprit is actually Reinhardt, a Nazi saboteur posing as a respectable businessman, he finds himself trapped in a web of kidnapping, extortion, and espionage that puts both Marlowe and an innocent company secretary in mortal peril. Written by the creative team behind this 9-page thriller, "Short Circuit Doom" races from corporate laboratories to hidden enemy hideouts in a wartime race against time.
