Zago #3
Zago #3 (1949) This issue contains two stories. "Jungle Prince: Insect Bombers" depicts a wartime effort in which destructive insects—grasshoppers and Mormon crickets—are weaponized and deployed to attack crops in enemy territories before being turned on fertile lands. In the main feature "Zago," the protagonist encounters a woman who claims ownership of a mine and tells a complex tale involving a foreman, his son, and a murder. Zago becomes entangled in the woman's web of deception regarding the mine's true ownership, while criminals attempt to exploit an inventor's plans for world domination by stealing a prototype invention and securing a hundred-dollar bill as evidence.
