☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Secret of the Black Planet," a reclusive inventor’s experimental gravity-defying gas takes a wild turn when a stray dog accidentally knocks over the canister, sending the man’s house soaring into the sky. With art by Harry Lazarus and a dynamic cover by Jack Kirby, John Romita, and Chris Rule, this 1974 Marvel tale blends mad science with accidental cosmic adventure—no landing plans included.
Capt. Kane and his crew stumble upon a forgotten research outpost in the remote waters, where they find the reclusive Prof. Briggs and his bizarre experiments: two colossal turtles, one as big as a house, the other stretching across an island. With Dr. Parker and Simms at his side, Kane must confront the truth behind the missing scientist’s radical serums—and the terrifying, living wonders they’ve unleashed.
Hank Jordan, a man more comfortable with spreadsheets than star charts, lands on a planet where the ground itself pulses with radioactive oil—and the inhabitants are robots who call it home. When he arrives, he’s shocked to learn that the planet’s most valuable resource is sacred to its robotic people, and their refusal to sell it isn’t just policy, it’s principle. With Bob Jonson and Azka watching from the sidelines, Hank must confront his own prejudices as the planet’s secrets begin to unravel.
In "Beyond Belief!" from Weird Wonder Tales #4 (1974), a reclusive inventor unveils a revolutionary gas capable of suspending gravity, testing it on nearby homes with increasingly bold results. When a stray dog slips through an open window in search of food, the man’s frantic shout sends the animal leaping back out—just as it knocks over the canister, sending the house spiraling into the sky.
