"Forbidden Worlds" #81 is an anthology issue featuring multiple science fiction stories. "Hepzibah's Dream" depicts a knight in armor battling an ancient dragon, which turns out to be a 1959 reality. "All the Time in the World," written by Bob Standish with art by John R., follows Amos Dalrymple, a perpetually late man who discovers a time-freezing device that allows him to stop the world around him, though his attempts to use it to impress his fiancée Julie backfire. Additional stories include "Cosmo Jingle!," which features a villain using a sound-beam weapon with destructive capabilities and plotting to rob banks and blast apart mountains to access hidden wealth.

Cosmo Ingle has spent his life using noise and tantrums to bend the world to his will, and now his obsession with sound-beam technology threatens far worse—when the university expels him for his dangerous experiments, he pivots to extracting wealth from the mountains themselves, unleashing devastating tremors across the country.
