(Story by Bob Standish, Art by Paul Reinman) follows young Herbert Wimble, who dreams of becoming a doctor but is discouraged by his parents' financial concerns; when he applies to medical school, he is rejected based on poor school marks, though he later pursues medicine by another route. A second story involves a wartime scenario where a military call for ghostly aid results in strange glowing objects appearing around Allied planes during combat, with only a few planes managing to retreat from a giant killer raid; the narrative later shifts to a fantastical realm called Goering-Land, where a mysterious figure offers a soldier a vision of his golden future in an all-seeing crystal, and the soldier attempts an escape involving a castle search, a window, and a llama rescue.
When Norbert Wimble's lifelong dream of becoming a doctor is dashed by his school records, he settles for the Medical Corps during World War II—only to find himself stranded on a jungle island in the Pacific where he shoots down what he thinks is enemy aircraft. What crashes isn't a plane but an alien vessel, and its occupants leave behind a mysterious medical kit before vanishing in a flash of light. When Japanese forces capture Norbert and force him to treat their wounded with the strange extraterrestrial instruments, he finally discovers what it means to practice medicine—but the consequences of his newfound skill may reach far beyond the battlefield.
In a chilling twist of history, Nemesis travels to 1940 to alter the course of World War II, aiding Churchill’s forces during the Dunkirk evacuation and the Blitz. With the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, he manipulates events to push Hitler toward his downfall—leading to a final, decisive act that reshapes reality itself.
When a widowed woman named Laura Harris appeals to Phineas W. Carlton for help, the stern and self-righteous man boards a train to Elmville to lecture her on her failings—only to find himself aboard a mysterious 5:27 express that defies all logic. As the noiseless train hurtles through the darkness and its ghostly passengers refuse to respond, Phineas discovers he's been transported back to 1909, where he witnesses pivotal moments from his own past with startling new clarity. What unfolds is a journey through his own history that may force the old man to reconsider everything he believes about himself and his life.
When a peace-loving leader is kidnapped by communist insurgents in the mountain nation of Sandru, America's most resourceful secret operative, John Force, receives his marching orders: locate the Green Lama before he's executed or spirited away into Red China. Armed with his magical abilities and his wits, Force must infiltrate enemy lines and penetrate a heavily guarded mountain fortress—but his opponents prove far more formidable than he bargained for.
