(Spy
Fighters I#1 (fb) - BTS) - During World War II, Vicki Chase was a
member of the Women's Auxiliary Corps (WACs) and held the rank of
lieutenant. Following the war she moved into intelligence and became an
agent of the Spy Fighters organization under the leadership of Mr. Lamb.
(Spy Fighters I#1) - Mr. Lamb introduced Vicki to the recently-recruited agent Clark Mason, who was immediately taken by her beauty. Mr. Lamb informed them that, for their first mission together, they would pose as a married couple to find missing agent David Gorham in Indochina. Ignorant of Vicki's abilities, Clark objected to working alongside her but Mr. Lamb vouched for Vicki's training. As they were posing as husband and wife, Clark insisted on stealing a kiss from "the bride," which annoyed Vicki. Although they were uncomfortable together personally, they went into the field in Indochina and they proved their professionalism to each other. Clark posed as the missing David Gorham's cousin and eventually learned Gorham was alive but had switched sides to the Soviets. Gorham wound up being slain by a tiger. Impressed with Clark, Vicki gave him a kiss.
(Spy Fighters I#10/4 (fb)) - While on assignment in Paris, France, Vicki and Mason encountered Tom Samlock, who was in love with Vicki. Samlock became jealous when he saw Vicki and Mason were developing feelings for each other and the two men got into a fight which Mason won.
(Spy Fighters I#2/2) - The Spy Fighters learned that the NKVD had been fabricating reports of a US agent in Iran named Major Rupert Scuggins with an accomplice Myrna Tydworna. To sabotage Soviet efforts to influence the Iranians, Clark Mason and Vicki Chase were sent to Iran to adopt the identities of Scuggins and Tydworna. They discovered that NKVD agent Lermakov was trying to influence the Bukhari tribe against the USA. Vicki was captured by Lermakov but while Mason was rescuing her, Lermakov took out a grenade to throw it at Mason. Vicki suddenly kicked the live grenade from Lermakov's hand and it landed at his feet, killing him and his followers.
(Spy Fighters I#2/4) - Mr. Lamb assigned Mason and Vicki to Japan to pose as a song and dance team: Jack Wembley and Lita Lane. They were attached to the US comedy film star Gus Vinson, who was making a film in Japan, but the Spy Fighters had learned Vinson was working with the Communists to steal plans for the atomic bomb. Mason killed the enemy spies.
(Spy Fighters I#3) - Mason and Vicki went to Rome, Italy to investigate who had been murdering friendly spies. Mason suspected the American spy Brandon was responsible but Brandon turned out to be a loyal agent; Brandon's secretary Gina Morina was a Soviet agent, exposing spies to enemy agents. Mason, Vicki and Brandon eliminated Gina and her allies.
(Spy Fighters I#4) - Mason and Vicki went to Trieste (then an independent city-state) to investigate Communist agents who were agitating tensions between Italy and Yugoslavia. Mason infiltrated the ranks of the spies led by Dr. Cardelj but was quickly recognized as a fake. Fortunately, Vicki rescued Mason before they could execute him and Mason eliminated the spy ring.
(Spy Fighters I#5) - From the Spy Fighters' base in London, England, Mason and Vicki were sent to Poland to investigate a plot by the Communists to construct a dirigible which would carry out a bombing attack on England. As they attempted to impersonate Communist officers, Mason and Vicki chanced to encounter Meadows, who was similarly an undercover operative. With Meadows' help, they commandeered the dirigible, destroyed it, then returned to England.
(Spy Fighters I#6) - After Communist spy George Lorber died in a car accident, Mason assumed his identity for an assignment to Teheran, Iran, to ferret out Communist agents. Vicki accompanied Mason under the alias Kitty Vere and posed as a casual acquaintance who supposedly met "George" on the plane to Iran. Mason was contacted by Fahid Mizami, an Iranian jeweler who claimed to be another agent of the Spy Fighters. However, Mizami was merely a terrorist hoping to gain favor with the Communists by capturing Mason for them Mizami took Vicki hostage in an attempt to force Mason's surrender. However, the Spy Fighters' actual agent in Iran, Madam Vasarth, rescued them both from Mizami's men and brought them to General Narrabi, the assistant chief of security. Mason believed his identity as Lorber was still a secret as Mizami had yet to share it with the Communists but General Narrabi proved to be a Communist agent and had Madame Vasarth killed. While Mason dealt with Narrabit, Vicki helped trap Mizami at a nightclub, delivering him to the police. After the mission, Mason and Vicki visited Madame Vasarth's grave to honor her for giving her life for their cause.
(Spy Fighters I#7) - Mason and Vicki were sent to Finland, where they found the scientist Gorlikov was being forced to develop atomic weapons for the Communists. When Gorlikov learned Mason and Vicki were from the Allied nations, he turned on his superiors and destroyed his research before being killed.
(Spy Fighters I#8) - Mason and Vicki were sent to Kualang, Malaya, where the Min Yuen were active in the Communist cause. Mason exposed British officer Captain Eggerth as a Communist double agent and Makya, wife of a plantation owner, as the leader of the Min Yuen. Mason took Makya as a prisoner.
