Uncanny Tales #45

In "Inside the Pit!", Fred Graham finds himself caught in a volatile shift after a power plant accident alters his personality, turning him into a man driven by a dangerous new ambition. With Eona by his side, he grapples with the consequences of his transformation as the city faces a crisis he now holds in his hands.

Dr. Mark Crewe tends to a patient with green blood, only to watch it turn red as the man dies. After being followed and narrowly escaping a fire, he tracks his pursuers to a house and discovers they’re mutants—only to realize, after a cut during his escape, that he may be one too.

In a quiet moment of rebellion, Noel Taylor finds himself abruptly thrust into the past, standing amid the laborers building the Great Wall of China. There, face to face with Qín Shǐ Huáng, he learns the wall’s true purpose—defending humanity from alien invaders riding dragon-like beasts and wielding weapons of fire and smoke.
