In "The Great Green Spawn," Mysta and Bron venture into the treacherous Swamps of Venus in search of Platine, a rare metal essential to keeping their Vita-Electroid operational. Penciled and inked by Howard Larsen, the story unfolds with the high-stakes urgency of a 1947 sci-fi adventure, while Joe Doolin’s cover captures the eerie, otherworldly menace of the jungle’s hidden depths.

When Earth explorers Hunt and Lyssa stumble upon a crashed Volta spaceship, they walk straight into a trap set by the planet's scheming leaders—and find themselves displayed as curiosities in a transparent bowl, facing execution in three days. A mysterious ally shoots an arrow into their prison, offering a desperate chance at escape, but the rescue attempt separates the group and forces Hunt into a harrowing race against time to save Lyssa before the Volta can carry out their deadly sentence.

Mystery of the Asteroids
0.67 pp · Science Fiction

Space Ranger Flint Baker and his crew answer an urgent call from Earth's Viceroy—six ships have vanished without a trace along Astral Course 7, and the ace troubleshooter is needed to spring a trap. What they discover in the asteroid fields is far more sinister than a simple disappearance: a brilliant and ruthless woman named Xando commands an army of robotic slaves, transforming the missing pilots into headless servants under her complete control. Now trapped in her hidden fortress, Baker and his team must find a way to survive her horrifying experiments and stop her before she adds them to her collection.
