The Hundred Comic Monthly #30

In "The Menace of the Invincible Challenger," a mysterious monkey with super abilities awakens in a secret lab, its powers amplified by a meteorite-derived pill and a trip to space. When a young man named Rocky is chosen to take the same pill and sent into orbit, he returns with incredible powers—freeze rays, super strength, and invisibility—but also a fractured mind. As a crook attempts to exploit Rocky’s abilities for a string of bank robberies, the young man’s buried decency begins to surface. When the Challengers and June arrive on the scene, Rocky’s wits—and his powers—may be tested in ways no one expected.

In "I was a Ghost for Hire," a cunning medium and her aide run a fraudulent séance operation, using elaborate tricks to convince the gullible they’re communing with the dead. When a rival tries to expose them, they’re forced to outdo themselves—only to be undone by a chilling impersonation of their own craft.

In the dusty frontier town of Dry Gulch, the wounded Sheriff Tane pleads with his son John, the quiet schoolteacher, to take up the badge and protect the town. When the notorious Dry Gulch Gang arrives and shoots down the sheriff, the townspeople quickly name John their new lawman—though he’s no fighter, just a man of books. Forced to act, John must find a way to stand tall, even as the gang captures him and ropes his arms, setting the stage for a dramatic transformation.

In "Secret of the Space-Giant," Earth faces an alien invasion led by colossal, humanoid starships that dominate the skies. When humanity’s last hope seems lost, a daring plan emerges—one that hinges on deception, turning the invaders’ own fears against them.
