☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology issue featuring multiple science fiction and spy tales. "The Haunted Brush" involves a man discovering that a supernatural brush is revealing his future through a painting on a ship. Another story concerns T.H.E.M. agents attempting to capture a criminal operative known as "the Pirate," a double agent who sells secrets to the highest bidder, culminating in an underwater submarine rescue operation where an unconscious man is retrieved from the sea.
Eric Fenn, a brilliant but isolated engineer, watches in shock as his experimental toy, Peter Plastic, comes to life after being struck by lightning—then begins flying, causing fires wherever it goes. As panic spreads and authorities hunt the glowing, unpredictable machine, Eric realizes the creature isn’t just malfunctioning—it’s sentient, demanding a companion, and threatening to destroy everything if ignored.
In a high-seas scheme to catch a rogue agent known only as "The Pirate," Lieutenant Jones and his partner Skoooby pose as fishermen to lure the criminal into a trap using a fake secret document. As they set out to retrieve it, they're ambushed by the Pirate’s crew, left floating in the ocean—only for the Lieutenant to revive and use his electro-magnet to reclaim the stolen boat, battling the Pirate’s henchman Bull and uncovering a deeper conspiracy.
