Lion #19 is an anthology comic featuring multiple stories. "Outlaw of Space" by Frank S. Pepper follows Captain Condor as he pursues the villain Condor through space in the year 3000, with the captain's ship running low on fuel and engaged in a dangerous chase. A second story depicts Sergeant Tempest executing a daring military scheme involving a parachute drop to steal dynamite from a German camp during wartime. "Jingo Jones and His Invisibiliser" by Tom Stirling tells of a schoolboy who uses an invisibility device to play pranks, particularly involving riding an invisible horse to and from school while evading his prefect Hoggins. The issue also includes a "World-Wide Quiz" section with trivia questions about geography, natural history, and general knowledge.

John Tranum -- Ace Parachutist

1 pp

John Tranum made his name pursuing the kind of thrills that would make ordinary people faint—from parasol jumps gone wrong to mid-air tennis matches and motorcycle cliff dives. This week's feature showcases the ace parachutist's most death-defying stunts across his wild career, each one a testament to his fearless (or perhaps reckless) appetite for danger. Whether launching himself as a human torpedo or crashing through grandstand roofs, Tranum's saga proves that some daredevils are simply built differently.
