Adventure House

• Hand of Horror * Brant House
  A metropolis writhed in the clutch of horror's hand.  The mightest of the mighty fled in stark terror before its groping fiendish fingers. And its wake was a trail of macabre milestones, marking the way with bloated dead.  One man—alone, unaided—followed in that awesome wake.  He saw that enigma of enigmas, that Man of a Thousand Faces—Secret Agent "X."
• Fiend's Masquerade * Preston Grady
  Hoke Martin was a hardened skeptic—until he came face to face with the grisly spectacle that lurked in the black shadows of the storm-lashed island.
• The Whispering Corpse * Richard B. Sale
  An uneartly cry shattered the unholy gloominess that hung over the slablike chambers of the dead.  It was uncanny—a ghastly rasping slither like the hissing warning of an angry snake.
• Tong Torture * Emile C. Tepperman
  When Nick Ronson got mixzed up with a Tong revenge gang, it landed as though he'd bought a one-way ticket to hell.

The shadow of defeat hung darkly from coast to coast.  With boiling lead that stilled men's tongues, and bombs that mangled human bodies, The Hooded Hordes threatened America.  Their spies were everywhere.  Their power was growing daily.  And against this dread secret society went the Man of a Thousand Faces, gambling with defeat and horror at every step he took.

• Servants of the Skull * Brant House
  From the macabre maze of a labyrinthian world, the Skull, master of murder, reached out and made of mighty men imbecilic wrecks, derelicts, no longer human.  Only one man could match brains with the sinister Skull—and that was Secret Agent "X".  But the Skull did not fear "X", because The Man of a Thousand Faces had one vulnerable spot— and the Skull new where it lay.
• Written In Red * Richard L. Hobart
• Call From Hell * Emile C. Tepperman

• Curse of the Waiting Death by Brant House
  Underworld fangs were bared.  Underworld guns sounded a hideous tatoo of death.  And Satan's signals gave the clue to a murderous bandit pack, with a power of an unseen curse behind them—a curse that made the police stand off; and made Secret Agent "X" pledge himself to battle on the volcano brink of destruction.

In ten days there were ten murders.  Bestial terror talons ripped the heart and soul from a city, and in the funeral wake of these awesome claws lay the dried, bloodless husks of a what once were men.  Alone, bucking this mad march to the grave, went Secret Agent "X" along a trail that carried him up a corpse-runged ladder.
