| Synopsis | Johnny's obstacle course training is interrupted when some friends tell him of news that Captain America is alive, and is making a public appearance at an antique auto show. Cap & Johnny stop some crooks, but Cap is extremely rude, saying he doesn't need any help. Doris raves about Cap to make Johnny jealous. But "Cap" breaks the 2 thieves out of jail. On being caught, they claim Cap just wanted them as decoys to draw the police away while he robbed a bank! "Cap" gives Johnny a really hard time, until he's finally stopped and unmasked. "Cap" turns out to be Carl Zante, The Acrobat, whom Johnny fought once before. Back home, Johnny looks over some old Captain America comics, which include the details that Cap was really Army Private Steve Rogers, and wonders if he is still alive or will ever return... | Johnny's obstacle course training is interrupted when some friends tell him of news that Captain America is alive, and is making a public appearance at an antique auto show.

| Synopsis | Strange receives a call for help from Sir Clive Bentley in England, not realizing it's really Mordo in disguise. On arrival at Bentley's castle, Mordo traps Strange with a spell that will end his life as soon as a candle goes out. Strange mentally sends out a call for help, and a mesmerized girl comes to put out the flame early, freeing him. She turns out to be Victoria Bentley, daughter of Sir Clive, who passed away 10 years earlier! He realizes she must have a latent talent for sorcery. Mordo returns, and he and Strange fight in their astral forms. After, Victoria asks if she can become Strange's disciple, but he tells her the time will not be right until after Mordo's menace is ended. | Strange receives a call for help from Sir Clive Bentley in England, not realizing it's really Mordo in disguise.

| Notes | Episode #3. 2nd appearance of Baron Mordo. 1st appearance of Victoria Bentley, who would return in STRANGE TALES #160 (September 1967). Not counting next issue's flashback, Mordo returns in STRANGE TALES #117 (February 1964). Inker is obviously George Roussos, though not credited on artwork. Stan Lee notes he was waiting for reader feedback after Strange's 1st 2 appearances; this suggests Roussos may have inked this episode because of a very last-minute decision to begin running the series regularly. | Episode #3. 2nd appearance of Baron Mordo. 1st appearance of Victoria Bentley, who would return in STRANGE TALES #160 (September 1967).
