Publications, where honeymooners Bill and Brenda Rodberry find themselves stranded on Neptune after a crash landing. Captured by the grotesque, brain-preserving scientist Octavius Kharsov—whose mind inhabits a robotic form—Brenda soon uncovers a chilling truth: the man she thought was her husband is actually Kharsov in disguise, having swapped bodies with Bill. With a sharp pair of surgical scissors and a cryogenic plan, she takes control of her fate in a moment that’s equal parts suspense and surreal. Steve Hickman’s art and Phil Trumbo’s inks bring the story’s eerie tone to life, while Gray Morrow’s cover captures the unsettling blend of romance and sci-fi horror that defines the issue.
In the final chapter of "Operation Brainstrike," Captain Infinity and Skitzo face off against the Teutonic Titan and his Flying Aces in a high-stakes aerial battle, aided by the sudden arrival of the mysterious hero The Behemoth. As they return to Richmond Tech in their civilian identities, the secret is revealed to the reader alone: Behemoth is actually Infinity’s roommate, "Mule," in disguise.
When pilot Jo crashes his plane, The Morton Special, during practice, he’s unexpectedly pulled into the Bendix Cup Trophy Race—only to find himself hurtling through the time barrier as he hits top speed.
In the wreckage of his destroyed ship, Captain David Kenton turns to the Copernicus’s intuitive guidance system for one desperate chance to survive—plugging himself in to navigate the unknown, where the line between man and machine begins to blur.
