In "Parade of the Planets!", Lloyd Vincent recounts a mind-bending encounter where he outwitted an alien competitor in a cosmic contest to steal Earth from its orbit—using nothing but the geography of King County, Maryland, as his secret weapon. Written by Otto Binder and brought to life with dynamic art by Frank Giacoia, this 1969 tale blends sci-fi intrigue with a grounded, real-world twist. The cover by Murphy Anderson captures the cosmic spectacle with bold, classic flair.

In "Parade of the Planets!" from *From Beyond the Unknown* #2 (1969), Jo, a young woman with a knack for maps, helps Lloyd Vincent unravel a cosmic mystery rooted in the geography of King County, Maryland—where an alien scheme to steal Earth for a celestial contest hinges on a very specific terrestrial detail. The story unfolds with quiet precision, blending small-town terrain with interstellar stakes in a way that feels both unexpected and utterly grounded.
