In "The Invisible Menace!", Eddie finds himself caught in a surreal journey across time and alien worlds, fleeing prehistoric beasts, enduring imprisonment in King Arthur’s court, and rescuing Queen Serena of Korbol from her scheming Prime Minister. The story unfolds with vivid, dynamic art by Pete Costanza, whose bold inks bring to life the wild shifts in setting and danger, while the cover by Ogden Whitney captures the mystery with striking, period-accurate flair.

In "Why Can't It Happen to Me?", Eddie stumbles through impossible worlds—from prehistoric hunts to King Arthur’s court and the distant realm of Korbol—where he’s mistaken for a spy, a hero, and something more. When Queen Serena of Korbol gifts him her Jewel of Beauty, meant to make Meg the most beautiful girl on Earth, she dismisses it as mere glass, tossing the pentagon away.

The town’s desperate attempts to erase the reminder only lead to a steel tube rising in its place, a permanent, silent testament to a spirit who just won’t move on.
