Tales to Astonish #47

In "Music to Scream By," Ant-Man and the Wasp face a mysterious threat when the enigmatic Trago, a trumpet player with a mystical connection to his instrument, uses his music to ensnare them in India. As the duo confronts the danger, they must rely on courage and quick thinking—especially when a young ant named Foss makes a sacrifice that changes everything.

In "The Smiling Gods!", General Chao-Tung rules with an iron grip over a desperate farming village, demanding tribute and obedience. When the people pray to their ancient deities for a bountiful harvest to survive, the earth responds in terrifying, unnatural ways—crops surge upward with a life of their own, twisting and rising to ensnare the very man who once crushed them.

In "Target...Earth!", alien scout Ba-Korr lands on Earth to assess humanity’s threat level before a planned invasion. Dismissing humans as weak, he boasts of lifting locomotives with ease—only to discover his ship has vanished into a bog, leaving him stranded and his mission in jeopardy.
