Cover by Syd Shores. "The Mystery of the 100 Corpses!"; Steve and Bucky go skinny-dipping in a quarry when they are interrupted by Izan (Nazi spelled backwards), who has been using the quarry to dump in bodies of victims (dying air raid wardens) that he has used as models to construct look-alikes from his own henchmen. "Terror At the Shipyards!"; The Torch and Toro are invited to the shipyards to witness the launching of new destroyers, when a bottle is thrown at one of the ships, causing an explosion; After stopping another such attempt, the flaming duo follow the villains to their lair and are captured, escaping in time, however, to prevent a wholesale destruction of U.S. warships.
