Weird Science #6

When a crew of astronauts returns from Venus with a seemingly harmless flower, they soon realize too late that beauty can be deadly—especially when it blooms into something far beyond their understanding. With Cranshaw, Baxter, Barnes, Crawford, and the Whitley brothers caught in the aftermath, the quiet trip home turns into a desperate fight for survival.

In "Man and Superman!" from Weird Science #6 (1951), atomic physicist Niels Urey Vannevar pushes the limits of science in his lab, while his brother Charlemagne Farbish—more focused on muscle than mind—reluctantly joins him. When Charlemagne accidentally exposes himself to Niels’s experimental rays, he gains superhuman strength, but the power comes at a cost as his body begins to unravel under the strain.

In a haunting blend of history and science fiction, British physicist George Seymore builds a time-travel device to prevent the sinking of the Titanic—his parents' final voyage. Driven by grief and a desperate hope to rewrite fate, he journeys back to 1912, only to find his actions entangled in a paradox that reshapes his past in ways he never anticipated.

In "Divide and Conquer," a paranoid scientist's fear of betrayal takes a terrifyingly literal turn when he discovers his wife plans to kill him—so he retaliates by injecting her with a radical serum that triggers binary fission. As she splits into countless miniature duplicates, his obsession with control escalates into a chilling, relentless campaign of domination.
