1 The Mystery Men of Mars 1933
Seventy million miles from home! Three men, daring scientists and adventurers, take off from the earth in a steel and aluminum sphere. Upward they plunge past the earth’s shadow, onto the planet of Mars where they are seized and face destruction at the hands of gigantic beings who resemble mechanical bugs more than men!
2 A Thousand Years a Minute 1933
Into the world of a million years ago - propelled backwards into the dark ages of the past by an old professor’s invention, Alan and Ted find themselves pitted against the dinosaurs, mammoths, sabre-toothed tigers and savage ape men of the steaming jungles of a lost world.
3 The Land of No Shadow 1933
Two adventurers leap through the violet coil in the laboratory of Professor Arronson, straight into the Fourth Dimension, a gray terrifying land peopled with a throng of menacing, bodiless shapes ¾ They, the ghostly unknown beings. Into this vast boundless unknown terrain plunge Alan Kane and Ted Dolliver.
4 The Blue Grotto Terror 1934
Twenty miles down an incredible shaft, dangling at the end of slender steel wires, Ted and Alan find the Blue Grotto and learn a new definition of terror. Inside the earth is “something” – they can never name it – something which moves and thinks and plans and kills … but what is it! You’ll learn all they know of it in this hair raising story of adventure into the unknown.
