In "The Dragon's Roar!" from *Amazing Stories of Suspense* #205 (1983), a communist general enacts a brutal crackdown on a village’s New Year celebration, turning a festive dragon float into a mobile killing machine. When the machine-gun-equipped float advances through the parade, a real dragon emerges—unseen by the soldiers—and unleashes its fury, leaving the villagers unharmed.
In "They Can't Resist!" from *Amazing Stories of Suspense* #205, a blind man is handed a mysterious disk by an alien from Ganymede, who counts on human curiosity to activate a deadly gas release—only the man, unable to see, simply tosses the device into a river. The story hinges on a quiet act of defiance, where perception and vulnerability become unexpected weapons.
Jo, a struggling artist, crafts a mask inspired by the face of an ancient sorcerer, only to find himself transformed when he dons it during a robbery. The moment he slips on the mask, his features begin to shift, mirroring the sorcerer’s sinister visage—leaving him trapped in a body that’s no longer his own.
