Tales of the Mysterious Traveler #5
This anthology issue contains multiple stories framed by the Mysterious Traveler. One story features a young man named William Howard who seeks out author J. J. Dunlop after reading the serialized story "Weird Willie Wants a Weapon" in a magazine called *Always an Adventure*; Howard discovers the cliffhanger ending involves a hero trapped on a rock ledge with an elephant and lion, and he travels to meet Dunlop to learn how the story concludes. Another story involves a Sultan who pursues oil discovery across a desert, driven by greed, as the Mysterious Traveler observes the Sultan's reluctant journey across the burning sands.
