☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe main story "Ship of the Dead" follows a narrator who experiences a terrifying supernatural encounter while working his passage home by sea, encountering ghostly apparitions and horrors. A second story titled "Guardian Angel" depicts soldiers in combat who encounter a mysterious angelic or supernatural presence during wartime. Additional content includes "Two-Gun Jack," a Western tale in which the titular character returns home and recounts his adventures involving gold, Indians, and conflict with outlaws named the Redskins. The issue also contains various advertisements and filler content typical of 1950s comics publishing.
A merchant seaman desperate for passage home signs aboard the forbidding vessel Ka-Mor, only to discover the ship's crew moves like silent phantoms and her hold conceals a cargo far more sinister than any mortal cargo. As Al Forbes begins to uncover the truth behind the vessel's cursed nature, he must decide whether to accept his fate or fight back against forces that seem determined to keep him trapped aboard forever.
When Jerry and his psychic pal Sergeant Spook visit Dr. Hill's office one fall afternoon, they stumble into a murder investigation—and their friend Bob Rice becomes the prime suspect. With Bob's future hanging in the balance and dark secrets lurking behind closed doors, Jerry and Spook must uncover the real killer before an innocent man pays the price.
Charles "Lucky" Rogers earned his nickname through a lifetime of narrow escapes—a man so devoted to protecting the weak and helpless that it seemed he must be watched over by something beyond this world. When a mysterious hermit from a distant land befriends young Lucky and then vanishes, he leaves behind an ominous promise: the boy is destined for greatness, and he will not be forgotten. Years later, serving as a soldier in World War II, Lucky's selfless courage and uncanny survival against impossible odds put his guardian's cryptic words to the ultimate test.
When Sgt. Spook brings the reformed outlaw Two-Gun Jack to meet Jerry, the old Westerner regales them with tall tales of his past—and then disappears to handle what he calls "a little job" in the city. Spook soon discovers Two-Gun has gone looking for his grandson, who's caught up with a gang of crooks, and the three find themselves chasing the outlaw across town and into a bank robbery in progress. It's a wild ride as Two-Gun, Jerry, and Spook work together to stop the criminals and save the boy.
