In "Soapbox on Wheels!", a mysterious alien visitation echoes across millennia: ancient Andros in 936 B.C. and the modern Marshall Islands share a strange, silent arrival, leaving behind empty fuel canisters. Written by Richard Hughes and illustrated by Harry Lazarus with inks by Pete Costanza, this 1961 adventure unfolds with a quiet, intriguing mystery. The cover, by Ogden Whitney, captures the eerie stillness of the moment.

Lenny MartinBrickRuthieMrs. Martin

Lenny Martin is a lonely, sickly teenager stuck on the sidelines of life, watching from the outside as his classmates—especially the popular Brick and the kind Ruthie—live the adventures he can only wish for. When he discovers an old soapbox racer at the city dump, he soon learns it possesses an extraordinary power: whenever he rides it, he's transformed into a healthy, strong, and capable version of himself. Now Lenny has the chance to experience everything he's been denied—but the question is whether this magical gift will change his life for good.

Edward Courtney has been plagued by a recurring nightmare that leaves him desperate for answers—a dream of being hunted through a fog-shrouded Mystery Mews by a cackling old man, fleeing between closing buildings toward an inevitable collapse. With the help of psychiatrist Dr. R. P. Farraday, Courtney seeks the root of his torment, discovering through hypnosis a buried childhood memory that may finally unlock the mystery. As understanding dawns and relief seems within reach, the night takes an unexpected turn.
