In "The Death Ray," Indian Joe, an investigator for the Department of Interior, races to uncover a conspiracy when a gang impersonates an Indian Chief to steal a tribe’s gold in New Mexico. With the help of his sharp instincts and a mysterious device that may hold the key to the plot, Joe must outwit a ruthless gang before the tribe’s treasure is lost forever. The story, illustrated by Chuck Winter, features dynamic artwork that brings the desert mystery to life, while the cover by Joe Simon captures the tension with bold, early comic book flair.

Olga (VillainIntro)

A foreign spy named Olga kidnaps a scientist and his invention—a deadly death ray—holding him captive in a torture chamber while she demands he reveal its secrets. When the hero the Flame learns of the plot, he races against time to track Olga down, interrogate her gang, and rescue the captive before Olga can extract the weapon's formula or eliminate her prisoner. It's a race to the hideout that tests both the Flame's detective skills and his combat prowess against overwhelming odds.

In Modern Times
2 pp

Don Quixote and his companion find themselves caught in the chaos of Europe's war front, where modern weapons and machines prove far more bewildering and dangerous than any windmill or enchanted foe. Swept from one peril to another—from fleeing mysterious creatures to landing atop a giant fish to accidentally breaching a submarine—the two time-displaced adventurers discover that the 20th century offers plenty of the action they craved, though hardly in the form they expected. Their struggle to survive in this strange new world reveals just how lost they truly are in an age far removed from their own.

In Guam
8 pp
Mr. Krest (VillainIntro)

Spark Stevens finds himself investigating suspicious activity at a Pacific naval station in Guam, where foreign agents are smuggling military secrets—and a messboy with a hidden camera leads him straight to the mastermind, Mr. Krest. When Spark pursues the spy chief into the island hills, a desperate chase unfolds with bullets flying and boulders rolling, leaving the young sailor fighting for his life against a ruthless enemy determined to escape.
