"Major Larkin responds to a frantic call from..."
Characters
- Lightning [Fred Larkin]
- Major Larkin
- Pandro
Credits
- Inks: (uncertain)
Story Notes
Same art as previous three issues. The penciller is quite good - too good, in my opinion, to be Elkan, although Hames keeps seeing him here. I would concur if restricted to inks.
Red Magic
"Outer Mongolia! Before me streetched..."
Credits
- Script: Dana Dutch
Story Notes
Since Dana Dutch is a real person, does this imply that the other text story writing credits are also real? Keith Chandler says, we know that "Tom Alexander" is Toni Blum, but some others may be real people.
"What's the matter, son?"
Characters
- Pee Wee Myers

Reprint Notes
At least the joke (if not the art) is recycled.

"The god of war rides the air lanes..."
Characters
- Tom Devlin, Dick Swenson
- Harry Carson
Credits
- Inks: (uncertain)
Story Notes
Is Elkan here, too? Penciller may be the same but the inks are somewhat cruder. This is about contemporaneous with signed Elkan at Quality. There he takes after Reed Crandall - a style NOT evident here. Note that "Tansul" is an anagram of "Sultan".
"Piracy on the high seas!!...The Caribbean is..."
Characters
- The Hawk
- Captain Petrie
- Fluth
- Caleb
- Maru
Story Notes
Per Mort Leav, Art Saaf was given old Eisner material and assigned to re-write, re-compose, and fill in the gaps to create "new" Eisner Hawk stories (Robin Snyder's The Comics).
