Weird Fantasy #14

In "The Exile!", a pair of enforcers haul a notorious prisoner across the stars to a remote world meant to isolate those deemed genetically tainted by evil. The destination? Earth, a planet long forgotten as a place of exile for humanity’s most dangerous minds. The prisoner, known only as Adolph Hitler, is a name that carries weight across galaxies—but what awaits him on this distant world remains unknown.

In "The Expert!", EC Comics editors Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein seek out a supposed authority on Mars to help shape a new story—only to be stunned when their skeptical expert reveals a truth far stranger than fiction. The moment they dismiss his wild claims, the reality of his origins flips everything on its head.

In a clever twist of editorial mischief, EC Comics editors Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein craft a fake ad for a Martian vacation to fill a last-minute gap in their anthology—only years later, they’re stunned when a stranger approaches them, genuinely grateful for the ad that led him to a real trip to Mars and a four-eyed, three-eyed wife.

In the silent ruins of a world gone still, Dr. Beard wanders through a deserted first-class hotel, the last echo of humanity in a lifeless landscape. After a nuclear explosion leaves her the sole survivor, she pauses to reflect on the choices that shaped her past—each one a missed chance to change her fate. Then, in the eerie stillness, the phone rings. A voice on the other end speaks, then hangs up—realizing too late it’s the wrong number.

In "Mad Journey!", a brilliant scientist named Rodney Simon takes a daring leap into space, propelled by a revolutionary fuel that defies Earth's limits. After crash-landing on Venus, he finds himself imprisoned in a mental asylum by its humanoid inhabitants, who see his alien origins as proof of madness.
