The Flying Head
8 pp · horror-suspense
Cyrus P. WilkesEvanCarol WilkesMazieMike

When museum curator Cyrus P. Wilkes acquires a preserved head of a Hindu shaman from India, a careless accident releases its malevolent spirit—and the artifact's sinister power proves all too real when it tears through the night seeking a body to inhabit. Evan and Cyrus race against time to stop the creature's reign of terror before it claims more victims in the city streets. This tale captures the creeping dread of horror-suspense at its finest, pitting ordinary people against an ancient, unstoppable evil.

Bride of the Swamp Monster
8 pp
Jim LongLance CarsonLola MannHilary GlenPeg

Director Jim Long casts movie star Lola Mann opposite her fiancé Lance Carson in a big-budget picture called "The Swamp Maiden"—to be shot on location in Virginia's dismal swamp, where Lola was born and raised. But Lola's terror at returning to her childhood home runs far deeper than stage fright: whispered warnings of a swamp monster who claims a bride from among the local girls, a legend her own mother fell victim to years ago. As the film crew sets up camp on a remote island and production begins, strange and deadly events unfold that suggest the monster may be more than just folklore.

Doom of the Gnomes
7 pp
DaveyKhangDallonaJoeDavey Jr.

When Davey discovers a tribe of gnomes dwelling in a hollow cave atop Gnome Hill, he befriends them despite initial suspicion—only to learn that a construction crew plans to dynamite the hilltop, threatening the gnomes' home. Racing against time and facing betrayal from the suspicious Khang, Davey must convince his newfound friends to flee before it's too late. This 1952 tale from Forbidden Worlds #9 captures the wonder of a child's belief in the impossible and the cost of friendship across two worlds.

The Phantom Fountain
6 pp
GordonHenri LaValle

A government troubleshooter named Gordon is dispatched to investigate a series of bizarre attacks in the Florida Everglades—phantom creatures terrorizing expeditions, robbing homes, and orchestrating prison breaks. When Gordon parachutes into the swamp to uncover the truth, he discovers that the phantoms are all too real, and they're connected to Henri LaValle, a dying explorer who found something far stranger than the legendary Fountain of Youth—a radioactive spring that transforms living beings into indestructible, immortal specters. Now Gordon must contend with LaValle's supernatural army and a power that could reshape the world itself.
