"The 13 Dead Things" depicts a violent encounter between a monstrous creature and urban dwellers, with the beast rampaging through a city street and subway while a woman confronts it about the death of her child. The issue also includes a macabre movie review of "Dracula A.D. 1972" and another science fiction tale involving an astronaut named J-1001II who learns his parents were destroyed during a firebomb demolition of the rebel city Rhinestruck, and that military forces have cancelled his discharge, rendering him unfit for symbiosis with machines.
In a tense flight over the Himalayas, a group of passengers — including a young woman bound for marriage, a photographer, and a man claiming to be from the region — find themselves trapped when the plane is hijacked by the pilot, who reveals himself as Satan. As the aircraft plummets into a frozen wasteland, the killer offers each passenger a horrifying choice: surrender their soul for a chance to live, or freeze to death.
A man fleeing through a dimly lit street is haunted by the sudden, impossible reappearance of a clown he believed dead, forcing him to confront a past he thought buried.

When a man transformed into the monstrous Heap awakens to find himself aboard a military transport jet, he is forced to confront the fragmented remnants of his humanity as he recalls his past life and the tragic accident that changed him. Though the authorities believe they are transporting a specimen to a lab, the Heap begins to reclaim his mind—and with it, a desperate longing to return to the only family who ever accepted him.
Gideon Terrell and two companions survive a shipwreck only to be stranded on a volcanic shore inhabited by cannibals.

J-1001011, a human pilot known only by his designation, awakens aboard a planet-flier en route to destroy a hostile city on the alien world of Rhinstruck. As he prepares for combat, fragmented memories of his past—his parents, his childhood name, and a life before machines—surface, blurring the line between his human past and his machine-bound present. With the mission underway and the city below burning, he struggles to reconcile the emotions he never thought he’d feel with the cold logic of his role as a weapon.
