Uncanny Tales #102

In "The Mechanical Man!", a brilliant but anxious inventor wrestles with the fear that creating a human-like robot might one day render him obsolete. Determined to avoid that fate, he sets a strict limit: his machines will only perform calculations, never anything more.

In "The Man from Nowhere," Joe’s ordinary morning is upended when his shaving cream bottle releases Lance, a genie who looks just like him and claims to help reunite Joe with Linda. With a flair for the dramatic and a taste for grand gestures, Lance offers Linda the adventure she’s always wanted—only to find that her heart might not be in the fantastical after all.
