Stories

  • Lois Lane -- Wanted! · 12 pages

    When Tiger Woman knocks Clark Kent into a vat of molten steel, Lois Lane goes into shock and begins to believe she is Tiger Woman.

  • The Safari of Young Janu! · 6 pages

  • The Time Vault World! · 5.67 pages

    Tommy and Brent get a distress call from the planet Zundar. Upon arrival at the only town on the planet they are bombarded by canon fire. The call directs them to a hill encampment, where the townsfolk have relocated due to having been 'locked out' of the town by that very same canon fire.

  • They Deal in Danger · 2 pages
  • The Counterfeit Vigilante! · 8 pages

    Vigilante is protecting murder witness Matti Halliburton when they are waylaid by crooks. Halliburton wakes up from the explosion alone, unaware of his identity, but finds the Vigilante costume Greg has discarded in a dash to reach the television studio in time to begin his broadcast. Making the assumption that he is Vigilante, he pursues the crooks responsible for the attack. Greg puts on an old vaudevillian suit and false handlebar moustache, and he and Stuff follow Halliburton. They capture the gang and Halliburton later regains his memory, but doesn't recall his exploits as 'Vigilante'.
