In "Close Encounter of the Third Kind," written by Pat Mills and illustrated by Carlos Freixas, a mysterious UFO crashes near Pine City, drawing the attention of Probe, who arrives to investigate. As locals led by the stubborn Dutch Abe attempt to destroy the craft, a deadly ray kills everyone but Probe and his companion Simon—only for the wreckage to begin broadcasting an SOS that calls more alien ships to the town. With the skies filling with hostile UFOs and the town's sheriff and Abe himself turned against him, Probe must fight to survive the invasion he didn’t expect. The cover by Tom Artis and Sam de la Rosa captures the eerie tension of the alien arrival.
