Ibac (villain)Adolf Hitler (villain)Tojo (villain)ZeusVenusPanMercuryNeptuneBacchusCupid

When Nazi bombers invade Mount Olympus, the Greek gods and goddesses—Zeus, Venus, Mercury, and the rest—flee to Earth seeking peace, only to accidentally land in Times Square. Their arrival coincides with Billy Batson's transformation into Captain Marvel, and Zeus, annoyed at being compelled to throw lightning every time the magic word is spoken, refuses to cooperate any longer—leaving the Mightiest Mortal powerless while the divine refugees wreak delightful havoc across New York City. It's a wild collision of the ancient and modern as Captain Marvel must find a way to restore order and convince the gods to help him face a greater threat.

Battles the Bomber Birds

Spy Smasher races to the fog-shrouded Aleutian Islands after a Japanese midget steals secret naval base plans during an attack on Admiral Corby—only to discover the thief works for a sinister master who commands giant condors rigged as flying bombers. Trapped in an icy mountain cavern, outnumbered, and facing trained birds of prey, Spy Smasher must stop the aerial assault on American installations before the bomber squadron can strike.

When a Japanese spy masquerades as the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pelee to stir the native population against American forces, Private Jack Weston—secretly the military intelligence operative known as Minute Man—must uncover the enemy's plan before an erupting Mauna Loa turns myth into catastrophe. Racing against both lava and sabotage, Minute Man fights to prevent bloodshed on both sides of a carefully orchestrated deception. With the volcano's fury unleashed and his cover at risk, he'll need more than his legendary fists to save a doomed city.

Home Work
1 pp · humor

A young student scrambles through homework night, cobbling together answers from whatever resources he can find—a dictionary already claimed by a sibling, a father pressed into service for arithmetic help, and increasingly dubious definitions of his own invention. In this rollicking one-pager from the Whipper-Snappers, a kid's determination to scrape together a passing grade leads to comically misguided effort.

The Phantom of Marston Manor
12 pp · superhero
The Phantom [Formes] (villain, introduction, death)

A peaceful weekend visit to Marston Manor turns sinister when Mr. Scarlet and his companion Pinky arrive to find the estate haunted by a mysterious, seemingly supernatural Phantom—a figure that walks the manor's halls dealing death and terror. As the Phantom strikes night after night, Mr. Scarlet must uncover the truth behind the specter's murderous campaign and the hidden secret of Marston Manor's will before it's too late. Racing through secret tunnels and battling an enemy that appears to defy the laws of nature itself, Mr. Scarlet races to stop a killer who may not be what he seems.
