☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Adaptability," a generation ship bound for a distant planet faces an unexpected twist: the crew ages at a glacial pace in space, leading to a growing population that outstrips the ship’s resources. Written by Al Feldstein and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Wally Wood—both pencils and inks—this 1991 issue explores the quiet tension of survival in the void, with color by Marie Severin and letters by Jim Wroten. The cover, also by Wally Wood, captures the isolation and scale of the journey.
In the quiet vastness of deep space, Captain John Oxton leads his people on a generations-long journey to a distant world—only to find that survival beyond the ship’s walls demands more than just arrival. With his daughter Olivia by his side, he must confront the fragile line between preparation and adaptation, as the promise of a new beginning tests their resilience in ways no mission plan could foresee.
Captain Harrison and Captain Jackson lead a generation ship on a centuries-long voyage to a distant planet, only to discover that time moves differently in space—slowing human aging to a crawl. As the crew grapples with the unexpected consequences of their prolonged lifespans, tensions rise aboard the vessel, and the President of Urd must confront the long-term implications of a journey that may never end.
In "Shrinking From Abuse!", Doctor Hugo Masterson’s groundbreaking formula for shrinking tissue goes horribly wrong when he accidentally injects himself—only to be swallowed whole by his wife, Martha Masterson. As Hugo struggles to survive inside her body, the line between scientific ambition and personal terror blurs, forcing him to confront the volatile dynamics of their marriage in a way he never expected.
In "The Thing in the Jar," two scientists, Mr. Russel and Mr. Dorsey, investigate a mysterious force killing life in a local pond—only to uncover a sentient, liquid organism that absorbs the knowledge of everything it dissolves. As they race to contain the threat, a single careless act at their lab sets off a chain of events that could change everything.
