☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two distinct stories. The first story features a superhero in a red costume confronting a green alien threat on Mars; the alien race has plotted to mutate all Martians and humans into creatures like themselves using radiation ray tubes planted in hospitals, but the hero and the Planetary President work together to stop the plan using geiger counters. The second story, titled "The Monstrous Madmen," depicts a woman named Amazon in the jungle who becomes trapped by a living cable creature and battles for survival against both the creature and her enemies in a perilous jungle setting.
In "Creeping Death," a lab accident unleashes a monstrous amoeba that grows to terrifying size, threatening the lives of scientist Alfred Blakely, his daughter Gale, and his assistant Jack Carter. As the creature spreads through the countryside, its unnatural advance leaves a trail of fear and confusion, testing the resolve of those caught in its path. Ambrose, a quiet observer with a hidden connection to the lab, may hold the key to stopping it—but time is running out.
In "The Monstrous Madmen," Red Rocket [Rod Page] investigates a bizarre global pattern of baby switchings, linking it to his friend Chuck’s mysterious memory loss and Chuck’s recent journey to Mars. As Rod uncovers the truth, he learns that the planet’s mutant minorities—now ruling as the dominant force—have set their sights on transforming all Martians and humans into their own grotesque image.
In "Jade of Death..!", Gahna fights to save her people after Amazo lays waste to her village and enslaves its inhabitants. When hope seems lost, she turns to the idol of Janus, but the desperate act may cost her everything.
