* Dr. Niles Corey, leading an expedition with his daughter Cynthia, his assistant Michael Dunlap, and fortune hunter Vance Vargos, discovers the Lost Valley in Africa.

- | * Capt. Mike Typhon, undersea adventurer and scientist, has adventures under the sea traveling in a series of super-advanced submarines, assisted by Lt. Hank Noor and a loyal crew, including Kelland, Mark, Brady, and Bailey. Typhon possesses a charm-dispelling ring handed down his family from ancient times, which comes in handy against mystical threats. In his first adventure, he defeats an evil wizard who controls the undersea world, freeing a woman named Cecilia, who becomes a temporary companion. He later helps protect the kingdom of Mermea, populated by blonde, humanoid, water-breathing Sea Amazons ruled by Queen Mea. //Note: Since Typhon uses a futuristic submarine and ray-guns in his adventures, yet also uses a contemporary-looking submarine and handguns in other adventures, there is an Inter-Ocean Congress, villains wear futuristic-looking costumes, and there are no references to current events, this series likely takes place in the near-future some decades after the end of World War II. We place it in the late 1970s merely to fill a gap.// [Weird Comics #1-7] | + | * [[Michael Typhon|Capt.
