Captain Science #4

In "The Martian Slavers," Captain Science answers a desperate plea from Martian scientists whose planet is under siege by air-hungry slavers who’ve seized control of the atmosphere plant. With the air dwindling and hope fading, Captain Science infiltrates the slavers’ dome, using cunning and a hidden device to turn their stronghold against them. As the planet’s life-sustaining air is restored, he races to reclaim the atmosphere plant before it’s too late.

Captain Science and his young assistant Rip journey backward through time to the ancient temple city of Btuh, where they discover Doctor Khartoum has unearthed a forgotten power—a monstrous entity the ancients worshipped as the god Klameth. Disguised as priests, the two must infiltrate a sacred ceremony and confront the otherworldly force before Khartoum can harness it to threaten the modern world.

Dick Eaton's time machine spirals wildly out of control on New Year's Eve, pulling him and his wife Ellen through solid walls and into a parallel dimension where nightmare made flesh—living rock, monstrous creatures, and carnivorous plants—conspire to end their lives. Trapped in this impossible realm with no clear way home, the pair must navigate one horror after another as reality itself seems to bend and break around them. When they awaken in their laboratory, they're left to wonder whether they've traveled to another time, another world, or somewhere far stranger still.
