In "Murder World," Scram's twisted scheme to purge the U.S. of foreigners spirals out of control when his booby-trapped money—meant to eliminate freeloaders—throws the nation's economy into chaos. Written by Steve Mellor and brought to life by Joe Albelo’s sharp art and Andy Yanchus’s bold colors, this 1987 Marvel Tales standout delivers a tense, satirical edge. The cover, by John Byrne and Frank Giacoia, captures the story’s ominous tone with striking precision.

In "Unlucky Bucks or The Illegal Eagle Part 2," Scram's scheme to banish freeloaders with booby-trapped money spirals out of control, throwing the nation’s economy into chaos—just as the eagle mascot of the U.S. Treasury starts showing up in the most unexpected places.
