In "He's Coming to Get Me!" from Giant-Size Werewolf #5 (1975), Jo receives a chilling letter claiming his brother is coming to get him—fueled by guilt over stealing their father’s inheritance.

The Unsolid Man
4 pp · Science Fiction

In "The Unsolid Man," a Communist agitator escapes his pursuers on a rocket sled that pushes speed beyond the limits of time itself—just long enough to slip through solid matter, walking unharmed through walls before time snaps back into place. The story, written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, blends Cold War tension with a surreal, physics-defying chase.
