In "The Giant Airplane Blimp," the Doc's latest scheme takes a macabre turn as he dispatches his gang to a cemetery in search of a disease-free corpse—his next step toward godlike power through brain transplantation. Penciled and inked by Jim Mooney, this 1940 Fox pulp adventure blends eerie horror with pulp sci-fi, while the cover by Joe Simon captures the story's eerie, otherworldly tone.
