Synopsis for "Two Against HYDRA"
Capt. Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders #3
Continued from last issue...
Capt. Savage and Sgt. Joe Morita continue their fight until Morita rams his head into a tree, rendering him unconscious. As Savage restrains Morita, a member of HYDRA hits Savage in the head from behind and ties him up with Morita. Baron Strucker decides to leave them tied together in order to observe and learn if they would be able to survive, thereby proving that they would be worthy to be recruited as HYDRA leaders. Using teamwork, the two commanders are able to free themselves and escape several HYDRA traps. Morita, however, is shot with a dart laced with a tranquilizer leaving Savage alone to deal with continuing their escape. Savage carries Morita on even as mortars are dropped on his position.
Meanwhile, both the Raiders & the Samurai Squad manage separate breakouts of their prison cells and join forces to storm the control room where they try to take Strucker prisoner. He holds the allied groups at bay by showing them their leaders being attacked by HYDRA agents that are at his control.

Synopsis for "Beyond the Purple Veil!"
Strange Tales #119
Doctor Strange is up late studying a sinister gem when he discovers two common burglars breaking into his house. He sends them through the wall and leaves them without calling the police. This encourages the thieves to return next evening, after Strange has dismissed Wong and retreated to his study. They steal the strange gem and escape. Doctor Strange quickly senses that something is wrong. The gem has transported the unsuspecting thieves to the Purple Dimension. Doctor Strange enters the Purple Dimension and is brought before its ruler, Aggamon the All-Powerful. Aggamon shows how his subjects are slaving in the mines digging for gems and then offers to release his captives, if Doctor Strange takes their place. He accepts, but breaks free of his shackles as soon as the two thieves have been returned. Aggamon attacks with his jeweled demolisher beam and Strange counters with his magic amulet. The contest lasts for hours and both grow weaker. At last, the cowardly Aggamon surrenders. With his amulet, Strange weakens Aggamon's powers and makes it so that only by releasing his captives may Aggamon regain his strength. Doctor Strange returns to his house, where he learns that the two crooks have given themselves up and promised to live straight from now on.
