Race for the Moon #7
In "Amazing Space-Flight of North America!", a miniature solar system built by scientists takes a bizarre turn when its tiny sun begins to flare—just as a fleeing thief and a pursuing policeman accidentally stumble into the lab and shrink inside. With the model filling with smoke and the sun on the verge of exploding, the two find themselves trapped in a high-stakes race for survival. Nick Cardy’s dynamic art and Pat Gordon’s crisp lettering bring the frantic scene to life in this 1963 Thorpe & Porter gem.

Scientists have created a tiny duplicate of the solar system and are showing it to a newspaper reporter. The duplicate is behaving independently when suddenly the miniature sun starts flaring. It will soon explode. Not far away a policeman chases a thief who has stolen valuable medical Radium into the laboratory. Both plunge into the experiment and shrink at the same time. The thief still tries to escape the policeman but eventually is overpowered. Now the problem is that the unstable sun is filling the experiment with smoke. The policeman puts some Radium out so they can be seen and rescued.
