Fantastic Exploits #22

In "Death in Deep Space," Space Ace ventures into the void seeking a missing scientist, only to pull a mysterious woman, Dalla, from the wreckage of her ship. As she recounts a tale of alien invaders and Thorpe’s capture, he follows her trail to Titan—unaware the story is a trap woven by Flor, the vengeful pirate queen determined to settle a score.

When an ancient earthquake buried Atlantis beneath the Earth’s surface ten thousand years ago, its people adapted to life in the deep. Now, under the rule of usurpers who’ve deposed Queen Valen, the subterranean civilization launches a sudden assault on the surface world.

In "Land of the Living Dead," Philip Wentworth, lost in a feverish dream, crosses into the spirit world where he rescues the ghost Maureen and others from spectral pirates. Drawn together by fate, Maureen follows him back to the living world, where she protects him from the deadly threats of his brother and fiancée. As their bond deepens, Philip makes a final, irreversible choice to end his life and join her in the spirit realm forever.

In "Upheaval!", a Captain and his crew land on a strange planet whose surface resembles green felt—only to be swallowed whole and ejected from its interior like vomit. As the ship lifts off, the entire crew is left with a shared, unsettling realization: their long-held belief in humanity’s evolutionary supremacy has just been shattered by the planet itself.
