In "Beware the Ides of March!", reporter Mary finds herself captivated by the enigmatic Thoron the Great, a dazzling illusionist whose seemingly impossible feats hint at something far beyond human skill. As his mysterious persona unfolds, the truth reveals a startling secret: Thoron is not from Earth at all, but an alien visitor from the planet Asperia, taking a rare vacation among humans. Penciled and inked by Kurt Schaffenberger, this 1981 tale blends mystery and sci-fi charm, with a striking cover by Ogden Whitney.

Tony Blake [Julius Caesar]

Tony Blake lives with a strange pattern: every year on the 15th of March, something goes wrong, and he speaks Latin without knowing how. As a brilliant military strategist, his decisions echo those of a man history remembers—Julius Caesar—though he’s never studied the past. The question isn’t just where his knowledge comes from, but what the future holds when the Ides of March returns.
