Windy Breeze

Windy Breeze demonstrates an outrageous talent for tall tales in this quick-witted humor piece, claiming he can fly without a plane—all he needs is imagination. When he sets out to prove his wild boast, his fantasy gets a reality check that nobody saw coming.

Case No. 13... The Voice of Destruction!
7 pp · Spy

Captain Don Leash of U.S. Military Intelligence discovers a Nazi spy ring operating in an American town—one that's using carelessly spoken words from a neighborhood sewing circle to track troop movements and plan sabotage. When Leash transforms into G-2 and uncovers the scheme, he finds himself racing against Madame Z and her operatives to stop a planned attack on an ammunition ship at the docks. It's a tense wartime thriller where loose talk truly becomes the enemy's greatest weapon.

Quicksilver crashes a high-society masquerade to keep watch over the guests, only to discover that a grotesque creature has infiltrated the party with murderous intent. The beast—a trained ape-man controlled by the escaped criminal Dr. Krud—targets socialite Miss Carlyle for ransom, but Quicksilver intercepts the kidnapping and pursues the creature back to Krud's lair. When the dust settles, the underworld vows that Quicksilver's next battle will be far worse.
