Mystery in Space #58

In "Chariot in the Sky," Adam finds himself stranded on Rann after a mysterious transport, only to narrowly escape Jupiter’s thunderbolts and then flee from Apollo’s blazing chariot. With help from Alanna, he learns the Olympian gods—Jupiter, Apollo, and Hercules—have mistaken Rann for their lost home, Olympia, and Adam must challenge them to duels to prove they’re not where they think they are. As the trio grapples with their confusion, Adam helps them reunite with their ship before returning home.

In "The Dancing Trees of Polaris-Seven!" from *Mystery in Space* #58 (1960), Earthman Teo Walker, posing as the illusionist "Ditmos," uses a mysterious flute to make plants dance—just one of the tricks that could expose his true mission. When Mohr-Ban agents arrive at his performance, drawn by the trail of strange planetary attacks linked to his travels, he must rely on his dancing flora to vanish before his cover is blown.

In "The Amazing Journeys into Space!", Ted Larkin—driven by a childhood dream to be the first to reach Mars, fly through the sun, and circle the universe—finds a mysterious piece of metal with time-travel powers. Instead of seizing glory for himself, he uses it to quietly aid Edwin Blake, Stanley Adams, and Frederick Tomkins in achieving their own historic milestones.
