The Fighting Yank battles an alien insect creature threatening Earth, piloting one of their spacecraft back to expose the aliens' gas factory and prevent invasion. "Eyes of the Jungle" by Donald Bayne Hobart follows Bobby Thomas and his brother Jim in the African brush, where they encounter a mysterious stranger and witness strange animal behavior that may signal danger from native tribes. "Peggy" features a woman discovering a deadly post-war threat involving Dr. Skallex and explosive dolls hidden underground in the Nazi Doll House, leading her to confront criminals in New York.
When artist Horace Canvasbright inherits a fortune and tries to win back his old club by secretly buying their paintings through lawyer Grant Legaloop, he unwittingly becomes the perfect mark for a criminal scheme—complete with a fake painter and a stolen portrait that holds more secrets than anyone suspects. Bruce Carter I, better known as the Fighting Yank, smells a setup when the same cursed painting that killed its original artist suddenly reappears, and he's determined to expose the real masterminds behind this deadly con before Canvasbright and his friends become permanent fixtures in their own tragic gallery.
When foreign correspondent Burton Wells turns up dead under suspicious circumstances, young reporter Peggy seizes the chance to prove herself by investigating his final story—a dangerous trail leading to Dr. Skalkez and a secret explosive formula tied to a mysterious group called the Bloody Dolls. Teaming up with photographer Fred Walters in Rumania, Peggy navigates a web of cryptic clues, sinister dolls, and shadowy figures as she races to uncover the truth before a dangerous organization completes its plans.
