The issue features a main story about Jetta, a teen-age girl in a futuristic setting, who encounters a character named Arky at a space station. When Arky turns out to be a space wolf, Jetta discovers he is being kidnapped by an alien vessel. A secondary story titled "Piggy A.D. 2072" depicts two young people traveling in a spaceship who visit a floatshop in the future, where they encounter various anachronistic antiques from the past and discover old items like space helmets, automatic washers, and vacuum cleaners. The issue also includes a Lionel Trains advertisement offering coupon specials for train sets and accessories.

Contains 6 stories
Man Trouble
8 pp · Humor

When a new girl named Hilaria Hale arrives at Neutron High School in 2052, Jetta finds herself competing for Arky's attention—and decides the best way to win him back is to become the school's drum majorette. But Arky has his own plan to help Hilaria win the tryouts, enlisting Gizmo to rig up a special anti-grav gadget that's bound to go hilariously wrong. With romance, futuristic gizmos, and plenty of slapstick chaos, this tale proves that even in the year 2052, the games of the heart never change.

Jet Jaunt
6 pp · Humor

Jetta's date to the junior prom at the Flying Saucer Inn looks doomed when a reckless driver totals her jetmobile—but when her dad promises to loan his own vehicle, she and her companion think their night is saved. Unfortunately, a series of mishaps during house cleaning and an unexpected delivery throw a major wrench into their plans, leaving them with transportation that's decidedly not what they bargained for.

Untitled Humor story
1 pp · Humor
Frat Race
5 pp

When Zoomer Brown joins the prestigious Alpha Beta Beta fraternity, he's thrilled—until he discovers the fraternity's hazing orders come through a remote control device, and his rival Swoosh Taylor is orchestrating increasingly cruel schemes to drive a wedge between him and his girlfriend Atomica. As Zoomer finds himself forced to betray Atomica's trust and frame himself for trouble at school, he'll need to figure out how to break free from the fraternity's grip before Swoosh's plan succeeds completely.

Celestial Quiz
1 pp · Humor, Non-Fiction

This 1952 one-pager serves up a quick-fire quiz on celestial basics—from how many stars we can actually see to what makes them twinkle and how planets differ from stars—with a humorous character weighing in on the questions. It's a brisk, fact-packed bit of edutainment that wraps starlight science and color variety into a fun Q&A format.

My Cosmic Hero
7 pp · Humor

When Jetta's date Arky stops at an atomic filling station, he gets swept up by a charming woman—only to discover she's a space bandit using him as cover while making her getaway. Now Arky has to think fast and play the hero to outsmart a criminal with a ray gun, all while Jetta watches the whole mess unfold on her visi-screen. It's a cosmic comedy about chivalry, jealousy, and the trouble a guy can get into trying to prove that modern men are just as daring as the old-timers.
