Contains 4 stories
Fantastic Brain Destroyers
7 pp · Superhero

When a picnic rescue goes wrong, "Tech" Carson and his lab assistant Pat stumble onto something far more sinister than a simple asylum—a mansion where a mad doctor and his staff are conducting horrifying experiments using atomic energy to transform human minds and bodies. Racing against time to save Pat from the same twisted fate, Tech must fight his way through twisted creatures and ruthless scientists to uncover what Dr. Keats is really doing behind those castle walls.

Death Stalks The Show
7 pp · Superhero

Tech Carson, the jet-powered inventor, brings his lab assistant to a carnival plagued by seemingly accidental deaths—only to discover that a murderer is orchestrating the fatal "attractions" for sinister thrills. As the body count mounts and danger closes in, Carson must use his extraordinary abilities to unmask the killer before another victim falls to a rigged stunt. In "Death Stalks The Show," a superhero confronts a madman who kills for the rush, turning a midway into a deadly stage.

Sinister Seizure
7 pp · Superhero

When the mobster Ralph Mogen kidnaps Zip-Jet's assistant Pat and demands the secrets of his jet engine, the speedster must move cautiously to save her life—a challenge for someone who's too fast to be caught by conventional means. Trapped in Mogen's hideout with Pat after falling into a carefully laid trap, Tech Carson must rely on quick thinking and a hidden asset in his vinyl suit to turn the tables on the ruthless gang. In "Sinister Seizure," brains and speed prove equally vital when racing against time itself.

The Cryptic Cache
4 pp · Superhero

When a West Coast tough guy named Buggy Kronn beats an acquittal for a brutal payroll robbery, Tech Carson and his jet research assistant Pat know trouble is coming—especially since $137,000 in stolen cash has vanished without a trace. As Kronn eliminates anyone who might talk, our jet-powered pair must track him down before his hunt for the hidden cache leaves a trail of bodies leading to the cemetery vault where the real prize lies buried.
