☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue featuring multiple stories. "The Dark House" follows Detective Larry Speed as he investigates a murder at a theatre where actor Farwell Ambler was killed, uncovering a complex case involving gangsters, a staged performance, and hidden clues among the cast and crew. "Major Lord: Facts not Fiction" recounts the biographical exploits of an aviator who built a homemade glider at age eleven, later joining the Mexican Border War, the Royal Flying Corps in Canada, and flying combat missions against the Germans and Bolsheviks across multiple continents. "Stubbie" by Clyde Leon is a domestic comedy strip depicting a young man's awkward interactions with his girlfriend and grandmother, involving misunderstandings about spoofing and concerns over romantic affairs.
In this 1936 adventure from The Comics Magazine #1, Zator stages a dramatic assault on the city—not to conquer, but to summon Dr. Mystic into the spirit world. His mission: guide the sorcerer to the Seven, though their journey is cut short when they're ambushed by the mysterious Koth.
Cannonball Jones, a powerful jungle adventurer with more brawn than brains, finds himself in amusing predicaments as he stumbles through the wilderness relying on sheer force rather than wit. In this humorous outing, the self-proclaimed "scourge of the jungle" discovers that brute strength doesn't always solve every problem—especially when a simple dock mishap leaves a friend in need of rescue. Follow along as Jones's muscle-bound antics remind us that sometimes the wilderness (and everyday life) requires a little more finesse than a heavy hand.
