☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Manhunt #6 This issue contains two distinct stories. "The Scarlet Rider of the Northlands" follows a mountie pursuing a criminal through the Canadian wilderness, involving a rescue of a drowning man and a confrontation with a red fox and a character named Hank Vickers, while a woman named Lili LaPlatte watches from the cabin. The second story features a space patrol crew whose ship warps into another dimension; they attempt to use a ray cannon to destroy pursuing alien craft and crash-land on an alien planet. A third storyline involves Black Dan Murray, a naval officer, who is identified as a spy stealing information; he is rescued at sea by a woman, leading to complications involving betrayal and a character named Spaleen.
Jim Fallon, an F.B.I. agent, infiltrates a Communist training school hidden in the upstate New York countryside, posing as a curious stranger asking questions around town. When his cover is threatened by The Masque—a dangerous operative who escapes during a confrontation at the compound—Fallon pursues a clever lead that might help him track down his elusive quarry before it's too late.
When a log dam explodes along Peace River in British Columbia, Red Fox of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police rescues young Hank Vickers from the churning rapids—only to discover the disaster was no accident. A corrupt surveyor named Randy Grogher has targeted Vickers' valuable timber lands, dynamiting the dam to clear the way for theft and murder. Red Fox must outride Grogher through the northern forest and expose the truth before the surveyor can steal Vickers' deed and vanish into the wilderness.
When Space Ace Jet Black and his young patrol partner Jak Tal encounter a mysterious disc-shaped vessel during a routine orbit, they're met with a devastating purple beam that cripples their ship—and a silent, hostile presence that defies all their usual methods of contact. Armed only with a handshake buzzer whose vibrations prove unexpectedly effective as a weapon, the two future lawmen must devise an audacious plan to stand against an invading force far more advanced than anything the space patrol has faced. It's a desperate gambit where cunning and improvisation become their only hope against overwhelming odds.
When a cursed stone surfaces near Hampstead-on-the-Sea, Inspector Ronald Kirk of Scotland Yard finds himself pursuing a petty criminal turned violent killer—a man named Eddie Bishop whose newly discovered talisman compels him toward robbery and murder with mounting ferocity. As Kirk traces Bishop through London's underworld to the racetrack, the investigation takes a turn when the inspector himself confronts the stone's ancient, blood-soaked power. The curse of Makisian the Druid, which has driven centuries of criminals to their ruin, may yet claim an unexpected victim.
