Stories

  • Dinosaur Sub-Catcher! · 14.33 pages

    A half-dead frogman is rescued by a sub in the Arctic. How can he tell what happened when no one will believe?... The mission started in the Pacific, but the sub was sent to the polar ice cap to check a weather station. In the Arctic, frogmen encounter a coelacanth, sea serpent, swimming dinosaur and more. They take pictures that show only water, so the sub thinks they suffer "rapture of the deep". At the weather station, an ice-covered dinosaur grabs the sub. Setting off a charge drops the sub back in the ocean. The frogman is rescued, the sub safe, but nobody believes them!

  • Never Too Late! · 0.5 pages
  • No Escape from Stalag 7! · 9.67 pages

    The Sarge is noted for getting out of tight squeezes, but when their tank is surrounded, the GIs surrender and end up in Stalag 7. The only way to "escape" is in coffins strapped to a Nazi tank. The Sarge tries digging a tunnel and grabbing a motorcycle, but some informer leaks their plans. Then Sarge disappears. The coffin-bearing tank returns - and opens fire on the camp! Sarge was the "informer" to lull the Nazis. He rode out in a coffin, captured the tank, and came back to the rescue of his men!
