In "The Menace of Multifax," Amos Todd’s Museum of Worthless Inventions takes a bizarre turn when a strange flash of light during a storm seems to breathe life into his most outlandish creations. From a gold-making machine to a power pill that turns water into gasoline, the impossible begins to work—until the very inventions that save lives also attract thieves. Otto Binder’s story, illustrated with sharp detail by Bernard Baily, unfolds with a curious mix of wonder and suspense, while Bob Brown’s cover captures the eerie glow of the storm that changes everything.

Professor Amos Todd

In the storm-lit streets of a forgotten town, Amos Todd tends his Museum of Worthless Inventions—until a sudden flash of lightning sets his odd collection ablaze with unexpected power. When a water-to-gasoline pill ignites in his hand and a broken generator springs to life, he finds himself caught between miracles and madness. As the museum’s curiosities awaken, even the skies seem to answer his wildest experiments—until a theft turns his wonder into a race against a world that can’t handle what it’s just discovered.
