In one space-adventure tale, the crew of a spacecraft homebound to Earth faces an attack by space pirates seeking to capture their ship and enslave its occupants, with the crew forced to defend themselves using magnetgrappler weapons. In another story, scientist Jill Trent develops a radio transmitter attached to homing pigeons to track their flight patterns, and later demonstrates this technology to Chief Hurley, explaining its potential uses for communication and navigation purposes.
Wonderman faces his most terrifying challenge yet when Dr. Voodoo and the Immortal Emperor steal his vacuum spiral and summon the Phagians—a vicious alien horde from Jupiter's moon—to invade the sun-city of Univania. Captured and tortured while his friends race to his aid, Wonderman must find a way to stop an overwhelming alien assault before the creatures consume everything in their path.
Tara's world shatters when space pirates under Captain Atto destroy her ship and kill her father, forcing her into slavery on Venus alongside the noble Captain Robin and his loyal companion Malo. When Robin devises a daring escape using a bull whip and Tara's fierce determination, the prisoners fight their way to reclaim the Space Rover and bring Atto to justice—but a shocking turn at the World Court on Earth threatens to undo everything they've sacrificed for.
The Grim Reaper embarks on a covert wartime mission into Japanese-occupied China, infiltrating a remote gorge where enemy forces are preparing to deploy a deadly weapon of mass destruction against America. As he uncovers a plot involving atomic dust and a radio-active rocket, the spy must fight his way through overwhelming odds to stop the Japanese generals and free five hundred Chinese prisoners destined for a horrific experiment. With only days before Japan's surrender, The Grim Reaper races against time in what he calls his strangest and most dangerous assignment yet.
When scientist Jill Trent demonstrates a new radio transmitter attached to a homing pigeon, the technology catches the attention of a hospital official investigating a daring mid-air robbery—a shipment of radium stolen from a crashed plane under impossible circumstances. Jill discovers a clue that points to an ingenious plot involving pigeons, and sets a clever trap to track down the criminals behind the crime. With danger closing in and her wits as her sharpest weapon, Jill races into the mountains to intercept a mysterious message-carrying bird before the thieves can claim their prize.
