The Avenger #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn American scientist is abducted by Red China, prompting the President to call upon Hiram Wright, a financial wizard and elder statesman, who reveals that he and his nephew Roger Wright are the only ones who know the Avenger's true identity. The Avenger is tasked with rescuing the scientist from Red China and retrieving a portable H-bomb before the enemy can use it. In a secondary story titled "The Metal Menace," the Avenger's plane crashes and he discovers himself in a battle against international gangsters and foreign scientists wielding a deadly threat.
When Chinese forces shoot down an international plane and imprison the brilliant American scientist Dr. William Bennett, the President himself calls on the Avenger to undertake an impossible mission: infiltrate Red China alone and bring Bennett back alive. Adopting a cunning disguise, the Avenger must outwit his captors and convince the doctor to trust him before their cover is blown and both their lives are forfeit.
