Adventure Annual #1
An anthology featuring four adventure stories: "The Conquered Goddess" follows a Sherpa who recounts the history of Mount Chomo Lungama (Everest) to a young climber named Ras, explaining how the mountain earned its name from a white man's dreams; an untitled story depicts criminals breaking into a country estate to steal jewels, only to be interrupted and forced to flee; and a school-based story involves a student named Bob Fenwick who is mysteriously attacked in a pavilion, with the incident investigated by police while his school prepares for an important soccer match against rivals St. Olaf's. The issue also features stories centered on the cover-advertised characters Swift Morgan, Captain Daring, Black Roger, Dollman, and Roy Carson.
