Smash Comics #3

In "The Plot to Take Alaska," Chic ventures to Mongolia to uncover the mystery behind the vanished explorer Dennis Courtney, leading him from Shanghai to a remote village under attack by Japanese gunners. After a crash landing and capture by Mongol bandits, Chic and his pilot, Red Branigan, free the missing Courtney and make a daring escape. The story, written and illustrated by Vern Henkel, captures the adventurous spirit of early 1930s pulp fiction, with a cover by Gill Fox depicting the perilous journey.
