"Menace of the Inca Serpent!" delivers a mind-bending twist on a classic pulp premise, as a man’s desperate theft of a sacred serum unleashes a surreal journey through time—only to wake and find it all a dream. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Matt Baker and inks by Jon D'Agostino, the story blends myth and mystery in a way that lingers long after the final page. The striking cover by John Rosenberger captures the tale’s eerie, otherworldly tone.

In "Time Waits for No Man," a man's desperate theft of a life-extending serum from Native Americans spirals into a disorienting journey through time, leaving him ageless and adrift. When he awakens to find it all a dream—just before he takes the serum—he discovers the Native Americans have reclaimed it, yet he is not the same man who began the story.
