"The Comeback" follows Commander Hunley and his crew as they investigate a meteor that appears in their galactic sector, suspecting it is not a natural occurrence but rather evidence of their present mission's objectives. After detecting the massive meteor—the largest atomic bomb blast ever caused by man—the crew realizes it has been blasted clear of Earth's gravitational hold and discovers its odd debris scattered across space, including what appears to be a humanoid creature that may be a space wanderer. The story warns against trusting the mysterious being too closely, suggesting it may not be entirely real or human.

Contains 4 stories
The First Martian Bomb
8 pp · Science Fiction

A young survivor of a devastating Martian attack leads an international team of brilliant scientists on a mission to Mars—armed with weapons and twenty years of burning desire for revenge. But when they finally reach their target and catch a glimpse of Martian life through their scanner, the crew faces an unexpected reckoning that forces them to question whether destruction is truly the answer. "The First Martian Bomb" explores whether humanity can choose a different path, even when vengeance seems justified.

The Mindlings
5 pp · Science Fiction

On a distant planet called Contella, a mysterious alien race called the Grulls abducts a group of humans—including Don Fleet, a garage mechanic with a gift for parapsychology, and Carol Braddock—to study their extraordinary mental abilities, or "PSI quotient." The Grulls plan to harness this power to conquer Earth, but Don and his fellow captives discover they might be able to use their own mental talents to fight back. As the human prisoners rally together, they hatch a desperate plan to turn their psychic abilities into a unified weapon against their captors.

The Deadly Meteors
5 pp · Science Fiction
The Comeback
5 pp · Science Fiction

A man wanders onto a New Mexico test site just as the military detonates a hydrogen bomb—and somehow survives the blast, hurled into deep space where he encounters an alien spacecraft. When Marvin Baird realizes the extraterrestrials plan to destroy Earth, he races back toward home faster than light itself, triggering an unexpected defense that may save the planet. Steve Ditko illustrates this high-stakes space adventure about one man's desperate gambit against planetary annihilation.
