"Battle of White Plains" depicts a Revolutionary War skirmish with armed colonists fighting against British forces. Another story recounts the dark history behind a 1924 Haitian stamp, detailing the cruel reign of Emperor Christophe, whose use of voodoo curses terrorizes his people until his power mysteriously fails and he takes his own life. A Western tale follows a posse led by a character named Horn pursuing desperados across rocky terrain, with the outlaws managing to escape on horseback despite the determined chase. The issue also features a jungle adventure in which Sir Edward hunts a dangerous tiger with the aid of a native guide named Tuan, ultimately confronting and defeating the wounded beast.
Trapped in New York and hunted by overwhelming British forces, General Washington makes a desperate stand at White Plains in October 1776—first repelling a Hessian advance, then rallying his troops to counter British cavalry tactics with frontier-style fighting and hastily built log fortifications. As General Howe commits fresh thousands to break the American position, Washington's bold defensive strategy faces its ultimate test against superior numbers.
A man who rose from slavery to proclaim himself Emperor of Haiti, Henri Christophe begins construction of an impregnable fortress—the Citadel Henri—to consolidate his power, but his obsession with absolute obedience and ruthless cruelty demands an increasingly terrible price from those around him. As his tyranny grows ever more brutal, the people of Haiti turn to desperate measures to overthrow their despot, and Christophe finds himself abandoned and alone in his palace. This 1951 historical tale from Stamps Comics explores how unchecked ambition and fear can transform a liberator into a monster.
A deadly tiger has begun hunting the villagers of Kinang in Malaya, and after tasting human blood, the beast strikes again and again with terrible ferocity. Sir Edward Bradford, owner of a nearby rubber plantation, answers the desperate pleas for help and sets out with his gun bearer to track down the jungle terror before it claims more victims. This harrowing tale of man versus beast in the wild Malayan jungle pits courage and quick thinking against one of nature's most fearsome predators.
