Astounding Stories #6

In "The Possessed!", a mysterious force grips a remote Bavarian village, leaving its inhabitants eerily controlled. When Strange, armed with his Earthly Scanner, detects the disturbance, he uncovers a chilling truth: the possession is no supernatural curse, but the work of alien beings from another dimension. With the help of a young woman and her dog, he races to stop the invaders before they fully breach our world—before sealing the rift for good.

In "The Return of the Eel!", a former criminal resurfaces after serving time, slipping back into his old identity with unsettling ease. Now working at an aquarium, the man known as The Eel begins a new string of crimes—leaving Johnny, the one who once stopped him, to piece together the mystery before the city falls victim again.
