The Purple Invasion story #8 of 13. What has become known as the “War in Peace of the Pulps”, the legendary Purple Invasion lasted an amazing 13 installments. The guillotine rose and fell, and American patriots died for daring to defy the Purple invader, supreme from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In sun-bleached Death Valley, Operator 5’s outlawed, ragged army chafed within the cordon of the great Purple army. Only a military miracle would arouse despairing Americans and free those lost legions... To make possible that miracle, Operator 5 gambles boldly with Death at the very heart of Emperor Rudolph’s colossus of strangling steel.
