In "The Adventure of the Darkened Lighthouse," Kelly, Whacky, and the crew of a downed American bomber find themselves trapped by Burmese natives, with Kelly holding the mysterious white goddess Manta captive to keep the chief from launching an attack. When a rocket-powered plane offers a chance to reach Allied forces, the trio makes a daring escape, racing back to the village to rescue their comrades from Japanese troops—only for Manta to disappear in the chaos. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Ted Small, this 1944 Fox adventure blends wartime tension with pulp intrigue, all captured in a striking cover by E. C. Stoner.

When Anteas Jr. and The Bouncer invite Marion and Billy Ruck to join their next adventure, a chance encounter with the teenagers' pet goat Alonzo sets off a chain of danger—the animal swallows a tin can dropped by fleeing criminals, unaware it contains the stolen King's Diamond. Pursued to a lonely lighthouse on a rocky coast, our heroes find themselves imprisoned and facing ruthless killers who'll stop at nothing to retrieve the gem, even if it means silencing everyone in their way.

In a 1944 tale of fists and cards, boxer Tim "One Round" Hogan finds his training derailed when Pedro Martinez cheats at poker, handing him a half-interest in the fighter’s future. When Hogan’s sparring partner, Beppo The Bull, knocks him out in the ring, actress Barbara La Tour arrives to uncover the truth—only to find the cards Pedro used were marked. With the deception exposed, Hogan’s spirits lift, and he channels his focus into a powerful spar that leaves Beppo stunned and Pedro fleeing the camp.
