"A Narrow Escape" delivers a tense, grounded thriller in Malibu’s Spicy Tales #nn (1989), spotlighting The Chief’s capture by the ruthless 'De Gang' and Sally’s desperate attempt to rescue him. Written and illustrated by Adolphe Barreaux—handling every aspect of the interior art—this story builds relentless suspense as Sally calls for help, only to be taken herself. Bruce Timm’s cover captures the moment’s intensity, with the police arriving just in time to stop a deadly ambush.
In "Underground Peril," the Chief is taken by 'De Gang' and subjected to torture, forcing Sally to send Peanuts for help while she rushes in alone—only to be captured as well. Just as both face a deadly end, police arrive and eliminate the threat, ending the standoff.
In "Murder Mania," Sally takes a dangerous risk as a decoy to trap a killer who's claimed three lives in just two weeks, leaving each victim in the cemetery. With the help of Peanuts and the sharp instincts of The Chief, she turns the tables on a murderer who thought he was untouchable.
In "Maid to Order," Sally takes on a new role as the housemaid in the Farrington estate, tasked with keeping a close eye on the mysterious circumstances surrounding the missing Farrington Diamond. With the Chief’s trust on the line, she must navigate the household’s secrets while staying one step ahead of danger.
In "Murder With Music," Dan takes on a bodyguard job for Tayna, tasked with protecting her boyfriend Len—until Len is found dead and the trail points to Tayna’s hidden hand. As Dan digs through lies and shifting loyalties, he realizes the murder was just the beginning, and his role in the story may be far more dangerous than he ever expected.
In a forgotten corner of the world, adventurer Diana ventures into the wilds seeking a lost diamond mine, only to be taken by the fierce Kappirs tribe. Her fate takes a sudden turn when a mysterious knight from the Crusades—Prince—rides in to rescue her, his armor and sword as ancient as the legends he seems to embody.
