Slam-Bang Comics #4

Murder strikes on Pell Street when Jim Dolan, the fighting editor of Daring Detective Magazine, investigates the death of a hardware store owner—only to be drawn into a dangerous web of kidnapping, torture chambers, and a criminal mastermind known as the Dragon. As Jim battles tong men and faces diabolical threats, his secretary Sally fights for her own escape, and the true identity of the Dragon inches closer to exposure. Can the courageous detective survive long enough to dismantle the opium operation and bring the killer to justice?

Dr. Rodney Kent and his pupil Mark Swift pilot their time machine back three thousand years to ancient Egypt, where they're arrested as spies by Queen Hatasu—a ruler so tyrannical that her own subjects are on the verge of revolt. When Kent's modern knowledge and combat skills impress the Egyptian court, he finds himself caught between a revolutionary general and the proud queen, forced to broker peace before the kingdom tears itself apart. Can these time-explorers convince an ancient despot to change her ways, or will they become casualties of a civil war not their own?
