Strange Worlds #4

In "The Vampires of the Void," the alien ruler Myrza launches a chilling invasion of Earth’s solar system, seeking human captives to sustain her race’s life dynamos. When the young Earthman Kenton is taken, he must find a way to turn the invaders’ own deadly vulnerability against them—before the last light of humanity fades.

In "The Lost Kingdom of Athala," Professor Blake sends Jack and Tommy on a perilous journey through time to uncover the fate of a couple who vanished two decades prior—now lost in the dawn of history. Arriving in a forgotten era, the young explorers find themselves among a mysterious tribe led by a princess who speaks their language with eerie familiarity.

When an alien fleet from Palmoora attacks Earth's space defenses with a mysterious sleep ray, Captain Dave Kenton becomes humanity's only hope—a scout stranded on a distant asteroid who discovers the invaders' horrifying secret: they're harvesting human life-force itself to fuel their civilization. Captured and forced to choose between survival and betrayal, Kenton must decide whether to exploit a fatal weakness he's uncovered in his captors' technology, all while Myrza, the alien commander, watches his every move.

Roger Chalmers braves the African jungle on a perilous quest to retrieve the legendary Enchanted Dagger—a mysterious weapon his late father once sought—only to discover its true power lies not in the blade itself, but in something far more unexpected. When a notorious gangster learns of his return, Chalmers must put his newfound knowledge to the test against crime in his own city. With the dagger's secret finally unlocked, he vows to use it as a tool for justice against all who prey on the innocent.
