Flying Saucers #1

In the heart of the South American jungle, Ross Lanning and Jack Decker are stranded when a violent storm unsettles the local tribes. After Jack is killed and Ross is cast into a mysterious crater, he discovers a hidden cavern beneath its depths—home to dormant alien beings. Drawn by an unseen force, Ross reaches for a lever, unaware of the ancient power he’s about to unleash.

Ross Lanning emerges from the alien cavern only to fall ill with jungle fever, delaying his return to civilization. As flying saucers appear around the world and the press erupts in speculation, the F.B.I. and foreign agents close in on him—until the aliens intervene to protect their secret.

In "The Flying Saucers, Part Three: Final Objective," Ross Lanning discovers the truth behind the alien visitors: they were once Earth's ancient inhabitants, awakened from suspended animation after a cataclysmic atomic test erased their civilization. Through telepathic connection, he learns they’ve returned not to conquer, but to ensure such a tragedy never happens again—giving him devices to protect the world before departing for another galaxy.

In "The Eyes of the Tiger," Cal Cattler, a man obsessed with taming the wild, finds his life unraveling when his beloved pet tiger, Flame, takes a taste of blood from his wounded foot. Once a gentle companion raised from infancy, Flame’s instincts awaken in the dark, and the creature’s ghost begins to haunt Cal with relentless, glowing eyes. As guilt and terror take hold, Cal’s dream of domesticating nature turns into a nightmare he can’t escape.
