Cover by Jack Binder. Stories and art by Bill Parker, Ed Smalle and Sven Elven. Nickel Comics was an experiment by Fawcett - half as thick as their typical comics, costing half as much, and coming out twice as often. The experiment didn't last, but the star character did; "police scientist" Jim Barr creates a bullet-shaped helmet that grants him flight and makes him bulletproof, and the superhero Bulletman is born. Rescued from Africa in infancy, Bill returns as a man to find his long-lost brother Steve; the reunited brothers become known as the Jungle Twins. Aided by his raven Hugin and his Golden Hand of Abraxas, Warlock the Wizard fights to save a young woman from the vampire Baron Gath. Bulletman; Jungle Twins; The Pacing Ghost; Warlock the Wizard . 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.05.

Cover by Jack Binder. Stories and art by Bill Parker, Ed Smalle and Sven Elven. Nickel Comics was an experiment by Fawcett - half as thick as their typical comics, costing half as much, and coming out twice as often. Bulletman tracks Blackmask, whose "freezing gas" can stop anyone in their tracks - even Bulletman. Captured by slavers, the Jungle Twins are aided by Dagoo, who lures an army of snakes into the slaver camp! Aided by his raven Hugin and his Golden Hand of Abraxas, Warlock the Wizard tries to help a woman end the family curse that a demon will steal everyone who loves her. Plus an ad for Fawcett's Master Comics, featuring a photo of screen legend Mickey Rooney reading an issue of Master Comics. Who Is Bulletman?; The Suit Case; Jungle Twins; Death Treasure; Warlock the Wizard. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.05.
