In "The Strange Case of the Bloodless Corpses," a series of gruesome murders leaves victims drained of blood, prompting Dr. Jack Castle to step in when the police call on his expertise.

With the city still in peril, Castle follows the trail to Dr. Sendach, a renowned specialist whose medical credentials hide a far darker secret.

In "null," Mister E, the enigmatic foe of the underworld, follows a trail of corporate deaths that point to a hidden web of power — four captains of industry, all silent partners in the Snead Oil Company, now dead under mysterious circumstances.

In "The Killers of the Sea," Rockman races against time to stop Zombo, a sinister hypnotist with a genius for manipulating minds, from unleashing a deadly submarine designed to sink ships—especially American ones—passing through a strategic channel near his hidden island. With the fate of a nation’s wealth hanging in the balance, Rockman must outwit a foe whose power lies not in strength, but in control of the human mind.

In "null," Rockman answers a desperate plea from the Pixie King to rescue his daughter, Alecia, from the clutches of her captors. Taken to the Pixies’ hidden stronghold, Rockman must navigate a realm of shifting magic and ancient rites, where Alecia is being forced to become queen and the bride of the Pixie King.
