Forbidden Worlds #65

When Dr. Ben Widdemer is tapped to pilot America's answer to Sputnik—a manned satellite called the "New Moon"—he enlists the help of a talented woman he knows only as Mary Simmons. What he doesn't realize is that Mary is actually Soviet operative Olga Kurilenko, tasked with sabotaging his mission before launch. As the countdown to February 1st approaches, personal feelings and Cold War espionage collide in the capsule's final moments.

In "No Place to Hide!" from *Forbidden Worlds* #65 (1958), Charles Weldon, a long-time employee who’s felt underappreciated, finally takes matters into his own hands—only to find every escape from his office, from town, even from the airport, mysteriously blocked by an eerie mist. As he’s forced back to the same spot again and again, the line between desperation and fate blurs, until a surprising turn of events leaves him reconsidering everything.

In the haunting one-page tale "What's the Answer?" from *Forbidden Worlds* #65 (1958), wounded pilot Lt. Don Allison wakes to find himself adrift in a rubber boat—only to be rescued by a destroyer’s crew, who can’t explain how he survived when the hospital ship Dakota was sunk two months prior. Though he bears fresh bandages from expert medical care, the timeline defies logic, and no one can say how he was ever on the ship that never existed.
