☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Earth's Friendly Invader's!", Jim and Jill Tomkins are transported to the distant year 26930, where they encounter a mysterious, indestructible creature threatening the future. With help from their own time-traveling duplicates, they use their knowledge of Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court to outwit the threat, blending past wisdom with future peril. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Sid Greene, with a striking cover by Gil Kane and Joe Giella, this 1963 Strange Adventures tale blends sci-fi adventure and literary cleverness in a rare, early exploration of time and legacy.
In the far future of 26930, Jim and Jill Tomkins find themselves stranded after being sent back in time to gather lost knowledge from the past. With their only weapon being a forgotten novel by Mark Twain, they must use its wisdom to confront a creature that defies all logic and reason.
In "Escape-Artist of Space!", a seemingly ordinary rope on display becomes the key to a daring rescue when an Earth-based escape artist uses it to free the kidnapped queen of Baloran—just in time to prevent a planetary war. The story unfolds with quiet suspense, blending the ingenuity of a classic performer with the high stakes of interstellar diplomacy.
