As the resistance grows, so does the eerie resemblance between Franz and the legendary freedom fighter Louis Kossuth, now just a memory beneath a beard and moustache. Written and illustrated by John Forte, with a striking cover by Ogden Whitney, "The Stray!" is a tense, grounded tale of identity and rebellion in a city on fire.
In "Queen of Uranus," Gwendolyn Purdy—dismissed by her students and scolded by Principal James T. Cannon—finds her life upended when her tektite collection begins to glow, summoning an alien emissary named Kryptos. Though Kryptos claims Earth women are unappealing, he insists on taking Gwendolyn to Uranus as his queen, prompting her to reconsider her image. When Cannon later asks her to a dance, Gwendolyn must decide what kind of future she truly wants.

Colby takes up residence in a forgotten cottage, where his alchemical experiments summon otherworldly creatures drawn by the promise of shared wonders. As the townsfolk grow uneasy, their curiosity turns to fear—until they uncover the truth behind the man in the cottage, and the line between madness and magic begins to blur.
