Joe "Daffy" Dill reports on the Steeger rebranding and announces Season Two!

 

A Very Exciting Announcement 

Ordered on a suicide mission to a forbidden Pacific island, two Secret Service operatives parachute into a jungle nightmare of purple gods, savage rituals, and a mad spy king ruling from a cave of living death—where one wrong move means sacrifice on an altar of criss-cross knives.

Published in SPICY ADVENTURE (April, 1935). Written by C. C. Spruce.

[Rated MA]* When a terrified girl swears a dead killer is stalking her through the rain-soaked streets, Dan dives into a nightmarish web of murder, stolen diamonds, and the chilling possibility that the grave doesn’t always keep its secrets buried.

[Rated MA]* Hired to pull a slick midnight snatch, Dan finds himself neck-deep in a foggy Hollywood nightmare of deceit, danger, and a dame whose desperate scheme threatens to cook them all before the truth can surface.

[Rated MA]* When a panic-stricken Wampas Baby star hijacks hard-boiled Hollywood Dan at gunpoint for a desperate midnight dash to the airport, a murderous horoscope prophecy drags them both into a deadly maze of jealousy and frame-ups!

[Rated MA]* Cornered, cuffed, and one frame-up away from a murder rap, Dan bluffs his way through poison, passion, and press passes—till the final showdown proves that in Hollywood, even love can be lethal.

[Rated MA]* Framed for a starlet’s poison death and dodging cops with itchy triggers, Dan chases the real killer through a haze of morphine, movie moguls, and midnight kisses—where the only antidote for murder is a .38 and a hunch.

[Rated MA]* When a redheaded starlet trades her ingénue halo for a hangover and a one-way ticket to the morgue, Dan Turner hits the Hollywood nightbeat—where a striptease, a snatch job, and a .22 slug turn a case of bad booze into cold murder.

[Rated MA]* When a worried ex-gridiron star hires hard-boiled Dan to shadow his oil-heiress wife and thwart a ruthless blackmailer, a clandestine hotel payoff detonates into sudden, smoking death!

[Rated MA]* In the blistering California desert, Dan goes undercover as a Bedouin extra to guard a sabotage-plagued epic—only to find murder crashing the set like a runaway camera crane!

[Rated MA]* When dazzling Hollywood starlet Nalia Kenton vanishes from fame and her powerful lover, Dan tracks her to a sun-scorched desert ranch—only to have brutal death shatter the silence of her hidden hideaway!

[Rated MA]* On the dimly lit Altamount soundstage, Dan watches a sultry starlet bare all for a Mata Hari execution scene—only for a real bullet to crash the take and turn blank-fire drama into cold-blooded murder!

Listen, sweetheart, if you're plowin' through one of my yarns and wonderin' what the hell I'm talkin' about half the time, relax. I've been slingin' this lingo so long it's second nature to me, but I know it can twist a square john into knots. So here's a little glossary—my personal brand of patter, the way I call 'em in Tinseltown. No fancy explanations, just the straight dope.

After uniting the tribes of Pellucidar against their reptilian overlords, David Innes prepares for a triumphant return to the surface world—but treachery strikes at the final moment, sending him on a desperate journey through darkness where one wrong turn could cost him both his kingdom and the woman he loves.

David battles a ravenous dragon and a seven-foot savage to rescue the woman he loves—only to discover her heart is fiercer than any beast.

Condemned to the vivisection pits of Phutra, a desperate fugitive slays his way to the Mahar’s forbidden secret and flees into the wilds—only to face traitors, ravenous beast-kings, and tireless Sagoth hunters on his blood-soaked trail!

Cast back into the shadowed halls of Phutra, a weary wanderer faces merciless investigators and ravenous prehistoric terrors, gambling his life for a desperate chance to save his friends—and win back the woman haunting his dreams!

Fleeing the hypnotic slaughter-pits of the Mahars, a lone castaway braves island jungles, monstrous sea serpents, and treacherous tribes as he fights to win freedom—and return for the friend he left behind!! 

Dragged into the reptile-ruled depths of Phutra, desperate slaves plot a mad escape beneath the unblinking inner sun—while the monstrous Mahars prepare a blood-soaked spectacle of beasts and doom!

Hurled into the blazing noonday of the earth’s hollow heart, two helpless captives are driven in chains toward the monstrous Mahars—winged overlords who rule Pellucidar with terror and slave-blood!

A runaway “iron mole” plunges two unsuspecting explorers into a hidden inner world where ravenous beasts, savage tree-folk, and a motionless sun hurl them headlong into screaming adventure!

Edgar Rice Burroughs' "At the Earth's Core" appeared as a four-part serial in ALL-STORY WEEKLY (April 4 to 25, 1914).
