In "Creeping Death," Rod grapples with a global mystery: babies being swapped in hospitals worldwide, coinciding with his friend Chuck’s amnesia and a recent trip to Mars. As Rod investigates, he uncovers a radical shift on the red planet, where mutant minorities have declared themselves the dominant force and now aim to transform both Martians and humans into their likeness. George Appel handles both art and inks for the interior, while L. B. Cole delivers the eerie cover.
