"Menace of the Inca Serpent!" delivers a mind-bending twist on the classic time-lost trope, as a man’s desperate theft of a sacred serum leads to a surreal journey through time—only to wake up moments before the theft, with the Native Americans reclaiming their artifact and leaving him forever altered by what he almost became. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Matt Baker and inks by Jon D'Agostino, this 1976 Alan Class gem features a haunting, dreamlike narrative that lingers long after the final page. The cover, by John Rosenberger, captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tension in striking detail.

In "Time Waits for No Man," a man’s desperate theft of a life-extending serum from Native Americans sets off a disorienting journey through time, leaving him ageless and adrift. When he finally awakens, he finds himself back at the beginning—just before the theft—though something within him has shifted. The serum is gone, the dream is over, but the experience has changed him in ways he can’t yet understand.
