Creepy Worlds #164

Captain Atom races to stop a series of mysterious, small-scale attacks linked to the fractured remnants of Dr. Spectro, who has split into five distinct, color-coded versions after a catastrophic energy surge. As the scientist’s scattered consciousnesses band together to rebuild their power and reclaim their form, Captain Atom must confront the escalating threat of these five dangerous fragments before they unite and unleash their full wrath.

In "The Nightmare Men," a tyrant haunted by nightly visions of masked figures bearing the word "justice" on their armbands finds his sleep shattered by their relentless approach. Though he awakens each time before they can seize him, the dread lingers—until, after seeking help from a doctor, he vanishes overnight, leaving his guards to wonder if the dream was real, and if this time, he didn’t wake up in time.

In "The Man Who Said 'No'," a man’s refusal to fund a scientist’s experiment with a cellular shrinking serum sets off a chain of events that spirals beyond his control. When a lab accident leaves him shrunk to microscopic size, he finds himself trapped in a world where every surface is a towering obstacle—and survival is no longer guaranteed.

In "Paid in Full!", a kind-hearted truck driver forms an unexpected bond with a lonely clerk who has no one else. After the man’s sudden death, his ghost returns to warn the driver away from a bridge that’s about to be swept away by a flash flood.
