Germans are using voodoo to resurrect their dead officers and American soldiers die in their place, ascending to the heavens rapture style.  And they would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for, etc.

I'm going to go ahead and spoil the heck out of this one, in case you care about such things.

This is my first time reading a G-8 story, and I was expecting more over the top craziness.  Maybe things get turned up in later issues, but this installment was a relatively mundane, though well written, war/aviation/espionage story.

G-8 is a pilot spy fighting for America in World War One.  He's assisted by "Bull" Martin and "Nippy" Weston.  In this installment, G-8 goes behind enemy lines to sabotage a German mining operation.  The story follows the typical capture/escape/rescue cycles of other pulps of the era.  A skeleton makes an appearance, but it's the only outre element.
