The stories

“Dragons of Doom”

Baron Gestapo is loose again and his dread hand is reaching across the vast Pacific, hovering over America's greatest General like a talon of death. But zipping to the rescue, in a desperate race against time, Steel Sterling, Man of Steel, takes on the crafty villain.

“The Coming of the Web”

"The Web is born! How did this unique, awe-inspiring force for justice come into being? Why did he adopt the guise of a web? The answers are told in a story that reaches a crashing crescendo of thrills and excitement." [from Table of Contents]

“The Seven Strikes Death”

A fortune teller warns Black Seven that his luck will finally end, and when a robbery goes bad, he flees from Black Jack. He runs into a "Chamber of Horrors" at a local carnival and manages to get the upper hand over the hero and ties him to a guillotine. But, lightning strikes the blade and, trying to dodge it, Black Seven stumbles backwards into a pit, complete with death-dealing spikes.

“Men with Tails”
