Uncanny Tales #14

In "The Victims of Vonntor!" from Uncanny Tales #14 (1953), a man with eight arms commits a series of murders, evading capture by revealing a different set of hands each time he’s fingerprinted—leaving investigators baffled and the truth buried beneath shifting identities.

In "For the Birds!" from Uncanny Tales #14 (1953), Professor Gorey’s interplanetary bird trade takes a bizarre turn when he stumbles upon a colossal avian on a distant world—so large it mistakes his spaceship for an egg and sits on it, leaving him stranded and in over his head. The story blends sci-fi whimsy with a touch of cosmic irony, as the professor’s greed meets a very literal reckoning.
