The issue features a science fiction story in which Brad launches a rocket and discovers a strange figure on a distant screen, later revealed to be alien beings on Algol. When Brad reaches the screen, he encounters a radioactive cloth that cannot be destroyed by conventional means, prompting Daisy to devise a bulletproof suit using old bone needles and a sewing kit to protect against the material's effects. The story also includes a fantasy sequence involving knights and a cursed enchantment that must be lifted, with characters invoking magical incantations to dispel dark forces and save their cause.

The Death That Grew
9 pp · Science Fiction

When a deadly spore plague threatens to wipe out the Brotherhood of Space at Phantom Haven, Tara and her companions—including the swashbuckling Robin—must infiltrate the heavily fortified Science Citadel on Mars to steal the cure from the Tyrants themselves. Disguised as laboratory workers, they navigate the citadel's deadly traps and guard patrols in a desperate race against time, knowing that failure means the end of their freedom-fighting outpost. A spy's treachery adds one final complication to their daring escape with the serum.

The Last Three Dimes

The Robots of the Demon Star

Wonderman receives a startling distress signal from a distant planet called Algol: a woman named Malma and her people are under siege by relentless robot invaders. Determined to help, he travels across space with Carol and his artificial companion Roboroy to confront the mechanical tyrants and uncover the sinister force behind their conquest. The battle for Algol's freedom—and Roboroy's own redemption—awaits on the Demon Star.

Stop to Wonder
1 pp · Non-Fiction

This non-fiction feature celebrates four remarkable figures whose early achievements and unlikely paths shaped their legendary careers—a young billiard prodigy from Massachusetts, a sickly boy who overcame hardship to lead a nation, a champion racehorse who lived in luxury, and a military strategist who rose to the highest levels of government. Each story offers a glimpse into how determination and circumstance can steer an extraordinary life.

Silver Knight

When Sir Giles, a scheming villain with the power to transform into the Barghest—a fearsome supernatural beast whose bite means death—challenges Briane, the Silver Knight, to single combat, he springs a trap designed to force King Arthur's hand. As Briane falls victim to the creature's curse with only hours to live, his fellow knights and a mysterious woman named Tarna must race against time to save him without abandoning the realm to ruin. With the Deathless Druid's cryptic guidance and a suit of enchanted armor, Tarna and Briane's allies gallop toward Clewsby Castle for a desperate showdown against dark magic and treachery.

The Bulletproof Bandit!
8 pp · Crime
Strange, Isn't It?
1 pp · War

During the Battle of Caporetto in World War I, an Austrian postman accidentally wanders into Italian trenches under cover of darkness, delivering mail meant for the enemy lines. When the Italian soldiers realize their mistake, they find themselves in an absurd situation where the opposing forces are so dangerously close that even supply deliveries get mixed up. It's a darkly comic glimpse of the strange chaos that erupts when war brings enemies within arm's reach.
