In "Nothing He Couldn't Do!", Dr. Marvelle, the world's most brilliant explorer and scientist, stumbles upon a frozen baby dinosaur in an underground cave.

Waking from a terrifying dream, Dr. Marvelle breathes a sigh of relief—only to find massive dinosaur footprints outside his lab. Illustrated by Manny Stallman, this eerie tale blends scientific ambition with cosmic dread in a story that lingers long after the final page.
