An anthology issue featuring multiple stories: "Anteas, the Bouncer" depicts the Bouncer battling a villain named Mr. Lucifer at a circus, with acrobatic action involving a cannon and net as the hero and his allies attempt to thwart the criminal's plans. "The Clown Who Played Satan" involves a wise officer at a courthouse and a child in a car, with the officer giving a lecture and later using a bongo instrument to create sound effects, culminating in a fire and the court's adjournment. "Rocket Kelly" presents a jungle adventure where a Japanese gun becomes central to the plot, with characters discussing Daikal's armor and native spirituality as they navigate through captivity and attempt escape in a primitive village setting.
