☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeX-Venture #1 is an anthology featuring multiple adventure stories. One story follows a character named Bronco Shot dealing with fascist forces and a woman named Mary, involving combat and espionage in a foreign setting. Another story titled "Disguised Holy Dervish's Dangerous Explorations" recounts the true story of Herman Vambery, a crippled Hungarian boy who overcame his disabilities to become an explorer and scholar, disguising himself as a holy dervish to travel through forbidden regions of Asia in 1840.
Bill Evans, better known as the Bronco Shot, rides back to the Argentine pampas just as fascist-backed bandits terrorize the peaceful town of Rosario—and the quick-draw Texan is ready to answer the call. When a past connection with an old friend complicates his mission, and the fascist leader El Trueno plots an all-out assault on the settlement, Bronco must rally the townspeople to defend their freedom against overwhelming odds. This action-packed western pits frontier justice against tyranny in an unforgettable showdown.
In the 1947 anthology X-Venture #1, "null" introduces young Drew Lane, heir to his father Professor Winthrop Lane’s dangerous atomic research. After a tragic accident claims his father and several villains, Drew is left with the secret of a revolutionary atomic process—and the weight of its power. As former Nazi sub crew member The Boss and other criminals close in, Drew must decide how far he’ll go to protect the world from his father’s legacy.
In the 19th century, Herman Vambery dons the robes of a Dervish to slip unseen into the hidden corners of the Middle East, seeking truths and experiences forbidden to outsiders. His journey becomes a daring exploration of cultures and landscapes few white men ever glimpsed, all from the quiet anonymity of a holy wanderer’s disguise.
