Synopsis for "Midnight in Greymoor Castle!"

Reprint of the 2nd story from
Tales of Suspense #69
In a laboratory inside Greymoore Castle, the bitter Dr. Rawlings has been hired by the Nazis to construct a device which would shrink Captain America and his partner Bucky down to microscopic size. Having shown his Nazi employers the success of his invention by testing it on dummies of the two heroes, the Nazi's are pleased. Chastised by his sister for helping out the enemy, the doctor reveals that the reason why he has decided to work for the Nazis is for revenge on the world over the loss of his hand, and the opportunities that passed him by because of his loss of limb.

Elsewhere in Britain, Sgt. Duffy's US military force is stationed and preparing for operations against Nazi opposition on British soil. Among the troop are Steve (Captain America) Rogers and Bucky Barnes. While Steve is on a mission in his civilian guise, their base is attacked by the Nazis, prompting Bucky to change into his costumed guise, however he is captured in combat, and taken to Dr. Rawling's castle.

Elsewhere, Steve's unit is attempting to occupy Nazi-occupied France, and Steve stumbles upon a communications from the Nazis informing the Red Skull that they had captured Bucky and transported him to Greymoore Castle for "disposal". Changing into Captain America, Steve races back to Britain, stealing a lift aboard a Nazi fighter plane. As he races to Greymoore Castle, Rawlings prepares to bathe Bucky in the Z-Ray experiment, ignoring his sister's warnings that the Nazis will eventually betray him.

Continued from last issue...

Failing an attempt at preventing Namor from using the Revitalizer Ray on Lady Dorma, Warlord Krang faces the wrath of the true prince of Atlantis. The Sub-Mariner beats the cowardly Krang into unconsciousness before using the Revitalizer Ray to heal Lady Dorma. Turning the device to full power, Namor succeeds in revitalizing his true love.

With Krang dethroned and locked up, the people of Atlantis celebrate the return of their true ruler. During the celebrations, Namor asks Lady Dorma to sit by his side and asks Vashti the Elder to work as his adviser in the future, making him a Lord of Atlantis. After the festivities, Namor asks that Krang be brought to him for punishment. Much to Krang's shock, Namor orders him exiled from Atlantis forever and is thrown out of the kingdom.

Just after Krang's departure, Atlantis is suddenly shaken by a powerful quake. When the crisis is over, Namor believes that the damage was wrought by the surface men's nuclear bomb tests and decides that it is time that he returns to the surface to fight for his kingdom of Atlantis.

Synopsis for "Rebirth!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Captain Marvel #11
Continued from last issue... Mar-Vell is about to be executed, and as Una attempts to stop the execution, the Kree soldiers charged with assassinating Mar-Vell are killed by an Aakon attack party. As a battle erupts between the Kree and the Aakon, Una is fatally injured, prompting Mar-Vell to flee with Una's body.

Seeking to try and save her life, Mar-Vell steals one of the rockets from the Cape in the hopes of getting Una to the Kree galaxy to save her life with their advanced technology. However, the trip is too long and Una dies before Mar-Vell can get her medical help. Burying Una on an asteroid, Mar-Vell goes back to Earth to try and get revenge against Yon-Rogg.

However, Yon-Rogg intercepts Mar-Vell's ship, and uses his ship's tractor beam to throw Mar-Vell out into the deepest reaches of space. After months in space, the delirious Mar-Vell lands on planet which is apparently the home of the god Zo. Zo grants Mar-Vell with new powers: Super-strength, illusion casting powers, and the ability to teleport. Zo instills these powers in Mar-Vell and frees him of the communication band which Yon-Rogg used to control Mar-Vell. Zo allows Mar-Vell to go and get revenge on Yon-Rogg with these powers in return to do Zo's bidding at a later date, a deal which Mar-Vell agrees too.
