Adventure with jungle heroes, space heroes and superheroes, several of whom - Wonderman, Zudo, Magnet, and Silver Knight - debuted in Complete Book of Comics and Funnies (1944) #1 earlier in the year. Wonderman suspects the Immortal Emperor is hiding out on the Dark Planet Lilith, somewhere near the Moon. Captain Dick Devens, King of Futuria, battles Venusians in the far-off era of the late 20th century. The Magnet's Geo-Locator is put to its first test in tracking down the Crimson Conqueror. The Wonderman who appears in this issue has no connection to either the Wonder Man created by Will Eisner for Fox or the later Marvel character.
