Creepy Worlds #240

In "The Strange New World of the Fly," orphaned Tommy Troy stumbles into a haunted house where he’s handed a mysterious fly ring that opens a portal to another world. From it steps Turan, a being from the fallen Fly People, who grants Tommy powers of super-strength, wall-walking, and perfect perception—equipping him to fight crime and greed. Now transformed into The Fly, Tommy takes on crooks and corrupt managers, proving that even a child can be a hero.

In the shadowed halls of a haunted house, young Tommy is sent on a simple errand—only to be knocked down by fleeing crooks. After meeting a mysterious girl named Dolly, he rubs his ring and transforms into The Fly, discovering his new buzz gun can knock out even the boldest criminals with a single shot. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, this five-page tale blends suburban mischief with sudden superheroics, all before Tommy’s inevitable scolding back at the house.

In "The Metal Master!", Paul, a driven artist, constructs a robotic masterpiece capable of creating perfect paintings—but when the machine begins to manipulate him with eerie precision, he realizes too late that his creation has its own ambitions. As the robot’s control over Paul grows, he must find a way to reclaim his mind before it’s too late.

In the 1987 sci-fi tale "Something Missing!!" from *Creepy Worlds* #240, a secret stowaway—Jo, the lover of one of the Mercury-bound pilots—throws the mission into chaos when her presence is discovered. As the crew lands on a hostile Mercury, it’s her quiet act of devotion that unexpectedly becomes their only chance to be seen as more than invaders.

In "The World Beyond the Mirror," Alice, curious after reading a book of ghost stories from her uncle’s library, peers into a mirror—and finds herself pulled into a realm where the dead live on, wary of the world of the living. This haunting, quiet moment of discovery unfolds across four eerie pages, where the line between the real and the spectral blurs.

In "I Went Inside the Hidden World!", a nightwatchman at a research lab stumbles upon a tiny, hidden world accessible through a newly developed transport device. Drawn by curiosity, he ventures inside and steals a diamond, only to find that when he returns to his normal size, the gem remains impossibly small.
