Synopsis for Captain Quick: "Episode Eight (of twenty-two)"
After escaping the Spaniards, Kendal Quick decides to rescue Marjorie's father personally, and to this end he has enlisted his old friend Pierre Dufoe. Dufoe shaves off Quick's mustache and alters his own appearance, then they work their way thru Cadiz, on foot, searching jails and dungeons and prisons, and asking about Lord Barlow. All around them it's a reign of terror, and of horror, as hapless victims are carted away for torture, or burned at stakes. Pierre seeks out an informant, a prison guard, and extorts some truth from him: the Englishman Lord Barlow is no prisoner of the Inquisition at all, rather he is being held in the dungeon below the Governor's palace. As Quick knows, Governor Don Miguel Cordoza is the father of the late Don Pedro, whom Quick shot dead earlier. And ironically, that very evening, Marjorie Barlow and her new fiance Captain Rodriguez are enjoying the Governor's hospitality at a splendid banquet.
Their next step, explains Quick, is to join Cordoza's mercenary army. Dufoe joins under his own name but Quick adopts the alias 'Padraic O'Hara'.

Notes
- Published by National Allied Newspaper Syndicate, Inc., for the last time.
- Indicia calls it "Vol. 1 -- No. 9" of "New Comics: The International Picture Story Magazine".
- Next issue is published by Nicholson Publishing Co., Inc.
- Absent from this issue are Cal 'n' Alec, and Ray and Gail, both of which return next issue, and Dale Daring, which does not return until New Comics #11.
- Federal Men: The name "Invisible Empire" appears in the title, across the top of the 2nd page. Previous and subsequent episodes lack this title, and in this episode, no caption or dialog uses the term.
- First issue for Hardluck Harry by Bill Carney.
- Per Crisis on Infinite Earths: Absolute Edition, "Shanghai Pete" was retroactively established as the first appearance of Earth-C.
- In this issue's episode of Vikings, shortly before killing himself, the character Djorg "threatens the vengeance of the great god Thor" and soon the longship is overtaken by a terrific storm. So one of two things is true:
- Djorg's delusional bluster is untrustworthy, because of his suicidally high levels of grief, hatred, and insanity, or ...
- Djorg's vengeful ravings are accurate, and this is the first in-universe near-appearance of Thor, who nevertheless remains behind the scenes for the entire remainder of the serial. Still, evidence from two earlier chapters of this serial indicates that in this series, the Norse gods are real.
