Synopsis for "The Great Stone Face"

Captain Marvel's fan club enjoins sculptor Gostum Talentte to carve a giant Rushmore-like face of the hero into a mountaintop. A pair of unsavory types try to buy the mountain from its owner, who refuses, having already agreed to go ahead with the carving project. The pair hire Talente's rival, Watt A. Chizler, to sabotage the project, doing things like cutting the rope holding up Talente and vandalizing the face once it's completed. Then shooting at the spectators with a rifle. Marvel takes a punch at Chizler but misses, cracking open the mountain instead. Inside, he finds out what the criminals were trying to buy the mountain for: a rich vein of valuable aluminum ore.

Synopsis for "The Monster Society of Evil, Chapter 12: The Bombardment of Earth"

Captain Marvel is too late to intercept the first giant shell launched from Great Big Bertha, but flies down the cannon's giant barrel to try to stop the one aimed at the United States. A titanic explosion erupts inside as Captain Marvel crashes into the mile-long shell, destroying the gun and knocking Marvel himself into the atmosphere of Punkus. He flies back down to find Dr. Smashi dead, but Mr. Mind still alive, and tucks the worm into his belt to stand trial after intercepting the shell meant for Russia.

Mr. Mind crawls all over Marvel, tickling him and distracting him long enough that the shell is only seconds away from destroying Russia!
