The Hundred Comic Monthly #32

In "The Viking and the Firebird," Jon, still bound to the Twelve Tasks of Thor, journeys with the Mute Bard across a frozen wasteland in search of a fabled feather. When he plunges through the ice, he encounters a mermaid and must battle a killer whale before suddenly finding himself in the South Seas. There, a Polynesian beauty leads him to an island menaced by a wrathful volcano god—only to reveal the true source of the fury in the form of a fiery, mythical bird.

In "The Planet and the Pendulum!", Adam is suddenly whisked away by a zeta-beam to the distant world of Rann, where he’s captured by tribesmen who see him as a threat to their ancient "Rainbow Doom" device. Unbeknownst to them, the device is a teleporter that sends him to Anthorann, a sister planet where he meets Alanna and Sardath—survivors of a crash who fled from Samakand’s lost knowledge. Armed with a Rann spacesuit from the wreckage, Adam must confront alien invaders from Morleen, led by a warrior wielding a deadly diamondium pendulum that threatens to breach the dome of New Ranagar.

In the dusty town of Rocky City, the self-proclaimed Sheriff Walt is finally ready to confess the truth: his brother Wayne is the real gunfighter. But Wayne insists they wait until the Boy Sheriff Contest winner is named. When the young winner claims he’s no good for the job, Walt takes him on patrol—only to be wounded by the Flat Hat Gang. With courage rising in the boy, the gang is outmaneuvered, and the boy steps up, ready to serve. "Still thinking of resigning, Walt?" "Who, me?"
