This issue contains multiple stories, with the main narrative focusing on a creature that emerges from the ocean depths to terrorize a coastal city. A man-made mechanical monster, built with dangerous machinery, wreaks havoc on city streets until police close in on the creature. The second major story involves Professor Carlson's expedition into an ancient Aztec tomb where he discovers King Kataw's chamber, leading to a harrowing adventure as Carlson becomes lost in the underground passages while pursued by forces intent on keeping the tomb's secrets sealed. Both tales culminate in the protagonists narrowly escaping their respective dangers, with the Professor ultimately rescued from the labyrinthine tomb.

Contains 4 stories
Katumba - The Man-Made Terror
9 pp · Adventure, Horror-Suspense

In "Katumba - The Man-Made Terror," two showmen, Trent and Crane, bring their traveling spectacle to the island of Martinique, where the local legend of a monstrous gorilla named Katumba has long haunted the jungle. Posing as a real beast, they construct a fake monster to lure crowds back home—only to find their own twisted performance turning deadly as each man takes turns controlling the creature from within.

Make-Up for Horror
6 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "Make-Up for Horror," Ezra Fear, Hollywood’s famed make-up artist, relies on a terrifying secret: his transformations aren’t makeup at all, but a chemical Z that warps his victims’ faces. When a storm traps him in his own cellar, the creatures he’s imprisoned—once his unwilling models—turn the tables, unleashing the same monstrous drug upon their captor.

The Monster from the Deep
7 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "The Monster from the Deep," an atom bomb test in the Pacific cracks the ocean floor, unleashing an ancient, dinosaur-like sea serpent. Professor Drake, the only witness to its terrifying rampage, struggles to make the government believe him—though the world remains deaf to his warnings.

Death from the Tomb
6 pp · Adventure, Horror-Suspense

In "Death from the Tomb," Professor Denton leads an expedition into an ancient Aztec pyramid, where the discovery of a long-buried king’s tomb takes a terrifying turn when expedition member Carlson goes mad and vanishes. As Denton confronts the reanimated mummy of King Kataw in the pyramid’s depths, he fights for survival in a tomb sealed for centuries—only to barely escape and lock it away forever.
