Operation: Peril #2
In "The Case of the Chinese Gold!", Tom and Peggy race across time and space—from the past to Venus—on a mission to secure a rare radiation-absorbing metal before it falls into the wrong hands. Written by Richard Hughes and brought to life with dynamic art by Ken Bald, this 1950 adventure blends sci-fi espionage with Cold War-era intrigue. The cover, a striking collaboration by Ogden Whitney, captures the story’s high-stakes journey in bold, vintage style.
