In "The Star Creatures," Tommy and Brent rescue the alien S'Loro from a collapsing planetoid, only to be granted a mysterious protective fume that seems to shield them from danger—until their narrow escapes start to feel too convenient. Written by Jack Miller and illustrated by Jim Mooney, this 1960 adventure unfolds with a twist of deception, as the duo begins to suspect the alien's "gift" is a trap. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the cosmic tension of the story, perfectly framing the mystery of S'Loro's true intentions.
