    Cover by Jack Binder. Stories and art by Bill Parker, Ed Smalle, Harry Anderson, Rafael Astarita and Sven Elven.

The Red Gaucho is framed for criminal acts, and realizes he has a sinister double. Warlock the Wizard discovers Killer Staley hiding out in a tourist trap in Geyser Park. Captain Venture faces the Valhoes to enact the Liberation of Camur, in a story with some groovy, otherworldly Basil Wolverton-style art by Rafael Astarita. Bulletman; Red Gaucho; China Dishes Will Break; Jungle Twins; Captain Venture and the Planet Princess; Warlock the Wizard. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.05.
