Tygra, Queen of the Flame People, learns that her father and the other captives have been taken by ruthless Jungle Amazons, and she assembles a daring rescue mission into the heart of enemy territory. With help from her loyal warriors and a clever plan involving a stampeding elephant herd, Tygra fights to liberate the prisoners and protect those she's sworn to lead.

The Tale of the Death Watch
11 pp

A jeweled timepiece cursed to kill its wielders for centuries, the Death Watch finally arrives at a modern museum—where it catches the eye of Bruce Carter, the current Fighting Yank, and a gang of criminals who recognize it as the perfect weapon. When the watch is stolen during a daring heist, Carter must track it through the criminal underworld and stop his enemies from using its deadly mechanism to strike at an unsuspecting city.

Sooky's Other Self
6 pp

When a timid young man named Sooky gets fired from his job, a mysterious figure claiming to be his "other self" offers to help turn his life around—but their idea of assistance keeps landing him in trouble. As this shadowy alter ego pushes Sooky toward bigger opportunities, the two find themselves caught in a wild chain of mishaps involving a bank president, a promoter, and a theatrical producer who becomes increasingly convinced that Sooky's a master ventriloquist. What starts as an attempt at self-improvement spirals into chaos neither of them can quite control.
