☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two science fiction stories. "The Hangman's Son" follows young Jimmy Burk, a boy haunted by fear-quivering creatures that dart through his house like wounded night-birds, as he discovers his father's mysterious occupation and must face the source of his terror. "Heads of Horror!" features Captain Science (Gordon Dane) and his assistants battling a menace from the vampire world of the "Empire" planet—creatures with swirling heads that never die—using a time-viewer device, while also dealing with romantic complications involving a woman named Venus and a character named Waldo on what appears to be Mars.
When a colossal alien warship materializes over New York City and shrugs off the military's most powerful weapons, Captain Science, Rip, and Luana launch their space saucer to infiltrate the vessel and uncover the invaders' weakness. Captured and brought face-to-face with the super-beings of the Legion of Space, the three scientists must rely on their wits and knowledge of Earth's microbial world to survive. Will they find a way to stop the conquest before their planet becomes enslaved?
Jimmy Burk thought his father was just a mysterious businessman with odd habits—until the night he's left alone in the house and receives a chilling phone call, followed by terrifying visitors who are hunting him down. When Jimmy discovers the truth about his father's dark profession, he realizes that some secrets are far more dangerous than any childhood fear, and that supernatural forces may answer when vengeance comes calling. This tale of inherited burden and impossible choices proves that being the hangman's son comes with a price that goes beyond the gallows.
A predatory planet of swirling, unkillable heads descends on Earth with hunger—and Captain Science, alongside his loyal assistants Rip and Luana, must infiltrate the vampire-world itself to stop it. Trapped in the throne room of the King Head with Earth's cities being consumed above, Gordon Dane improvises a desperate gambit using the alien materials around him to turn time itself into a weapon. The fate of Earth hangs on whether his hastily built machine can work before the planet's magnetic tentacles finish their feast.
Interplanetary detective Brant Craig is called in when crooks steal currency plates from Saturn's vault, setting the stage for a clever counterfeiting scheme that could devastate the entire Solar System. When the investigation leads him to Saturn's Circus nightclub and a run-in with mysterious criminals, Craig finds himself caught in a whirlwind of kidnappings, space chases, and murder that will test whether he can uncover the truth before it's too late. With fingerprints that don't match any human hand and suspects tied to the underworld, this case proves far more dangerous than anyone anticipated.
