"Forbidden Worlds" #63 is an anthology featuring at least two stories. "The Stranger in the Hill" tells of a soldier who encounters a mysterious ape-like creature that enters his body, causing strange transformations and granting it human form, ultimately leading the soldier to sacrifice his own identity so his beloved Laura can be happy with the creature in human guise. "When Duty Calls!" follows Professor Weaver, a brilliant but isolated mathematician whose groundbreaking theories are dismissed by colleagues until Dean Parker offers him resources, only for Weaver to mysteriously vanish, leaving Cox and Barton to debate whether his revolutionary work was genuine or a hoax by a charlatan.
