In "The Handsomest Man In the World!", Apollo, a celestial visitor from Venus, descends upon Earth and banishes night, declaring he’ll only restore it if the goddess Venus returns with him to her home planet. Ken Bald’s dynamic art brings this cosmic tale to life, with bold, expressive visuals on both the interior pages and the striking cover, all rendered by the artist himself.

In "The Handsomest Man In the World!", Venus puts the narcissistic actor Rodney Radiant through a humbling lesson in love, all while uncovering a scheme by Della that threatens to upend her plans.

In "The Day the Sun Stood Still!", a young woman from Earth finds herself caught between two worlds when Apollo, a celestial being from Venus, arrives to halt the sun’s descent—leaving the planet in eternal daylight. With the fate of night hanging in the balance, he demands that the goddess Venus return to Venus with him, setting in motion a quiet, starlit tension that lingers long after the sun’s stillness begins.
