    Cover by Mike Sekowsky. Stories and art by Carl Wessler, Mike Sekowsky, Edvard Moritz and Sheldon Moldoff. Sterling's pre-Code horror comic Tormented becomes the Code-approved Surprise Adventures. War buddies discover a map to sunken gold, but as they search for it, greed turns them against each other. Boxer Maxie insists on getting in the ring again, even though doctors say it could be the death of him. A successful writer who steals his assistants' work and passes it off as his own gets a grim comeuppance.
