☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeNickel Comics #5 is an anthology featuring two main stories: "Bulletman to the Rescue," in which the superhero Bulletman races to stop a mob from infiltrating a new city hall that the corrupt contractor Leo Durgan has rigged as a death trap, and "Jungle Twins," in which brothers Bill and Steve Dale search for their long-missing twin sister Janna in Africa, rescue her from a giant ape, and battle giant spiders before destroying the Spider Kingdom and escaping by ship.
Captain Venture and his companion Princess Zyra find themselves captured by the Spider People and their King, who plan to transplant their alien minds into human bodies to conquer Earth. When the King's ambitions grow too dangerous, Zyra hatches a daring gambit—but it takes all her cunning and a makeshift web-sail escape to turn the tide against the spider kingdom. A rollicking 1940 sci-fi adventure where treachery, quick thinking, and improvisation mean the difference between slavery and freedom.
The Red Gaucho races to warn Chief Diblo that both a government army and the renegade Tad Cromer are closing in on the legendary Amdah treasure hidden in the ancient ruins—but a cunning betrayal by Cromer convinces the chief that the Gaucho himself is the traitor. Caught between warring factions, a tortured hero, and a ruthless thief all after the same fortune, the dashing caballero must untangle the lies before bloodshed consumes everyone involved.
