In "The Ice Giant From Pluto," a chemist's accidental exposure to the planet-killing compound Chlordane-X sets off a bizarre chain of events, turning him into a weapon the mob can't resist. With his deadly touch and a mysterious connection to Pluto, he becomes an unexpected threat to the Fly—though just how far his powers truly extend remains a chilling mystery. Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by John Rosenberger, with inks and letters by Rosenberger and John Duffy, this 1962 adventure features a cover by Rosenberger that captures the eerie, otherworldly tension of the story.
