The Champion begins what was to be its last year with "A Super Science-Fiction Yarn of Menace from the Stratosphere." An archetypical invasion of Earth by scarlet-robed, winged men from Mars, no less! For Pete's sake, you might say, and could well be right. It falls upon intrepid solar-power scientist Pete Flint to save the planet as he fights back from his research laboratory on tropical Coral Island. Elsewhere in the issue, 'tec Colwyn Dane finds himself "face to face with the mysterious 'Noose' at last." And, naturally, the villain comes "masked and cloaked from head to foot in black." The picture's there to show it. Issue # 1718 also contains, for those following the run set in train by Paw Broon, "The Sensational Dramatic Conclusion of our Great Soccer Serial." That's Frank Pepper's "The Come-Back Centre-Forward."
