| Synopsis | - Ibis the Invincible stops a second newly-resurrected pharaoh, King Senwosri, from executing an American archaeologist, pretty much just by politely asking him not to, after first easily working his way through a series of deathtraps by use of the Ibisstick. Senwosri surprises Ibis and Taia by magically returning himself to his tomb, to resume his "sleep," and his Numidian slave-executioner becomes a statue.
- Searching for a missing explorer, Scoop Smith braves the dangers of the Brazilian rain forest, for about two months, and finds the Fountain of Youth, and meets Cholo the custodian of the miraculous fountain, but then the fountain dries up at the end for no apparent reason.
- Billy Batson flies to Venus with eccentric professor Xerxes Smith, but it turns out that the scientist is really Doctor Sivana, Mad Scientist of Destruction. Sivana sees Billy do the SHAZAM transformation, and deduces his secret identity. Together with Beautia the Empress of Venus Sivana has hatched a plan to strand Captain Marvel on Venus with a horde of ravening monsters, while he returns to conquer America with a paralyzing gas; and a machine to pump this gas all over America. Beautia's servants are giant frogs with manlike hands. Beautia's sinister beauty affects Captain Marvel like a powerful drug. Cap escapes Venus by building a rocketship exactly like Sivana's. Also, a week later, Sivana arranges for Beautia to win a beauty contest. At story’s end, Marvel is beating up some thugs and demolishing the gas machine while the real villains escape off-panel.
- In the Rocky Mountains, The Mask is being paid by the Rooskan Government to shoot down USAAF Flying Fortresses and other planes, with a stolen experimental antiaircraft artillery piece, until Spy Smasher smashes his operation. The Mask escapes again. Alan tells Eve his secret identity after swearing her to secrecy.
