The Unknown

The Unknown infiltrates Nazi-occupied Paris to turn the occupiers' own cruelty against them, working with the French Apaches—rough street fighters and dancers—to lure Captain Schlutter and his Gestapo colleagues into a deadly trap. When the captain attempts to escape the Unknown's vengeance, he finds there's nowhere left to run.

Sally O'Neil

Sally O'Neil, ace policewoman, goes undercover as "Snoopy Sadie" to infiltrate a criminal operation run through a newspaper called the Daily Crime Wave—a publication that brazenly publishes crime tips and casing photographs for crooks. Working alongside Detective Mallone, Sally must keep her cover intact as she gathers evidence on the gang's jobs, but her identity soon becomes dangerously compromised. As the criminals close in on her, Sally must break free and race to stop the gang's final heist before they escape.

Cyclone Cupid

Cyclone Cupid watches a baseball game between the Black Sox and the Tattle-Tale Grays, where struggling batter Slugger Gates has already struck out three times—and the lovable cupid decides to lend a magical hand with one of his special arrows. What happens next puts Cyclone Cupid's well-meaning interference to the test in this lighthearted 1943 romp.

The Case of the Murdered Detective
7 pp · Superhero
Quicksilver [Max]

When Quicksilver arrives at his old friend Detective Bill Bannon's office with a warning, he finds the man already dead—shot by unknown gunmen who slip away before he can catch them. As Quicksilver digs into the murder, the case spirals into a tangle of stolen jewels, gangsters, and a woman with secrets, forcing him to separate the real killer from the red herrings. It's a twisted puzzle of double-crosses and hidden motives that even the speedster's quick wits have to work hard to unravel.

Kid Patrol to the Rescue
6 pp · Adventure, Humor, Children
Kid Patrol [SunshineSuzyTeddyPorky]

When Sunshine, Suzy, Teddy, and Porky decide to put their war-effort ambitions into action—nursing, fire-watching, and police work—their practice runs hilariously backfire, leaving the neighborhood anything but grateful. But when disaster strikes the local defense plant, the Kid Patrol finally gets their chance to prove that their determination and teamwork are exactly what's needed. A heartwarming 1943 adventure that shows how even kids can make a real difference when it counts.

Case No. 6: The Mystery of the Japanese Derelict
9 pp · Spy

When a Japanese submarine sinks the merchant vessel carrying G-2, the U.S. counter-espionage agent finds himself adrift in the Pacific—only to discover an abandoned enemy destroyer that might be his ticket home. But a mysterious woman and a young prisoner change everything when they reveal a Japanese task force bearing down on the island, forcing G-2 to turn the captured ship into an unlikely weapon against the enemy fleet. With his companions at his side, the spy must outwit and outfight overwhelming odds in a desperate bid to survive.
