Creepy Worlds #246

In "The Spymaster," Jo, a seemingly ordinary pharmacist, hides a decades-old secret: he was once the leader of an alien spy ring sent to Earth generations ago, tasked with monitoring humanity using invisibility powder. Now, as a new chain drugstore threatens to upend his quiet life, Jo struggles to reconcile his loyalty to his human friends with the sudden return of his old mission—especially when the townspeople claim they’ll resist the chain, but he suspects they’re lying. With the spies preparing to flee, Jo must decide whether to stay hidden among the people he’s come to care for or return to the duty he once thought was his only truth.

In "Who's Crazy?" from *Creepy Worlds* #246 (1988), Baxter Bibbs is dismissed as delusional—no one else can see his mysterious companion—but when she finally reveals herself, it's clear the real question isn't who's mad, but what lies beyond the veil of perception. The story unfolds with quiet unease as Baxter’s quiet devotion is tested by a world that refuses to believe in the woman who walks beside him.
