Showcase #18

In "Invaders from the Atom Universe," Adam finds himself shrunk and stranded on a desolate atomic world after a zeta-beam mishap, where he must navigate a city ruled by pop-eyed green aliens. With only a broken transfer machine and a scrap of phosphorous fuel to guide him, he rallies the desperate Rannians, uses their belt units to turn the tide, and fights to send the Vrenn back—only to be zapped away again, this time to Earth.

In "The Dozen Dooms of Adam Strange!" from Showcase #18 (1959), Adam Strange finds himself caught in a web of deception on Ranagar, where full-size dolls of him have sparked a bizarre cultural frenzy. When Alanna warns of a looming threat from the isolationist planet Dys and a secret sabotage plot involving "KLY" bombs hidden in the dolls, Adam must unravel the truth before the entire planet is destroyed. With time running out and the zeta beam calling him once more, he races to expose the conspiracy—only to face a final, unexpected twist at the honors dinner.
