☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Big Surprise" kicks off in a dusty, forgotten town where legend and danger collide, as Jesse James and his gang face off against the mysterious Ghost Town Gunmen in a showdown that’s as sudden as it is unforgettable. With bold artwork by Leonard Starr on both pencils and inks, this 1954 Avon jumbo book delivers a classic Western clash with a twist that’ll keep readers on edge. The cover, a dynamic piece by Frank Carin, captures the tension in a single, striking moment.
Peter Rabbit delivers a grocery order to Dazy Rabbit’s house, only to be mistaken for the famous actor Gregory Peck. The mix-up leads to a humorous misunderstanding when the delivery boy, Gregory, insists on his name being taken seriously—much to Dazy’s delight.
Peter Rabbit and Dazy race to warn the town of an approaching Indian attack, only to discover the so-called "warriors" are actually a group of friendly Native Americans selling a rug. When Peter pretends to be the Mountain Spirit to scare them off, he must keep up the ruse — even as he accidentally makes it rain — all while trying to prevent the townspeople from realizing the "spirit" is just a clever rabbit in a costume.
Peter Rabbit stumbles into a mysterious, rain-soaked farmhouse while trying to escape a runaway car he doesn’t know how to drive, only to be terrified by what he and Dazy believe are ghostly figures—until they discover the house is simply occupied by Farmer Brown and his wife, who were only using a mask to scare off intruders. The story follows their frantic, comedic misadventures as they navigate the eerie house, mistaken identities, and the strange mechanics of the car, all while trying to find their way back to town.
Space Mouse and his companion Millie respond to a distress call from Planet Mercury, where a mysterious villain known as Electro has captured Earth explorers and threatens further retaliation. As they navigate the electrified city and evade traps, including shock doors, sound waves, and freezing chambers, they uncover Electro’s true scheme: turning the captured explorers into horses.
In the dusty silence of a forgotten frontier town, outlaws have made their lair of abandoned buildings and shadowed alleys—until Jesse James rides in with a bold plan. With no law and no mercy, he leads his men into a showdown against the mysterious defenders of the ghost town, where every empty street holds a secret and every shadow could be a threat.
