The Fight - Roche has captured the saloon-keeper, O'Donnell - in the mistaken belief that he is his arch-rival the Tiger - and means to execute him (after appropriate hideaous tortures, designed to teach him the utter, absolute folly of challenging Roche). But the REAL Tiger - Jessan Hoan - and Wolverine have no intention of letting their friend die.

Prisoners - The congressional testimoney of Colonel Jody Choate has left the nation spellbound. But reporter Mickey Ditillio has penetrated almost to the core of Choate's covert operations - and discovered its links to drug smuggling, satanism, and political scandal.

Kills - Tracking a shipment of arms to a small island of the coast of Sardinia, Shang-Chi and Shen Kuei slip off to infiltrate the terrorist base alone - forcing Tarr and Reston to follow in a helicopter. During a chaotic firefight, the chopper is downed and Shang-Chi is separated from Shen Kuei. Finally facing Argus himself (the leader of the terrorist alliance) inside the base complex, Shang-Chi receives the chock of his life...

One Day at a Time - The world knows Tony Stark as a millionaire industrialist and brilliant inventor. But there are other sides to Tony Stark as well. He's a recovering alcoholic - and hte invincible Iron Man!
