Baron Blitzkrieg
In the early days of Hitler’s Reich, a Prussian nobleman whose name is unknown, offered his castle as a retreat….
It would have been a wonderful way to spend the war years if it hadn’t been for that one young Jew, who broke away from the terrified herd, who struck out with a flung bottle – the Jew who was killed one second too late – the Jew who destroyed the baron’s face!
Hitler commanded a series of experimental injections…
Transformed, the baron was no longer a useless cripple: he became a new tool for the Reich – a being capable of super-human efforts for limited periods of time – a creature of such power and lightning speed –
Red Bee
Rick Raleigh was an assistant district attorney in Superior City who donned a red and yellow costume and fought criminals with his bare fists and his trained bee, Michael. Unlike regular bees, Michael could inflict multiple stings and was amazingly intelligent.
Neon the Unknown
When the war in Europe began, Tom Corbet served in the French Foreign Legion. In northern Africa, his platoon was sent on a suicide mission to end a native tribal uprising being supplied by a munitions manufacturer.
He drags himself over the burning sands… at last, a shining pool of clear water glistens in a green oasis, beckoning hopefully to the dying man… parched with thirst from the intense heat, Tom Corbet crawls forward in agony…
Mademoiselle Marie
“Mademoiselle Marie” was a code name used throughout the centuries by many French freedom fighters.
