Weird Tales of the Future #2

In the year 2552, a scientist horrified by humanity’s physical decay invents a serum to reverse technological atrophy—only to unleash chaos when his assistant Luga devolves into a primal savage. As the city falls to a tide of reawakened instincts, the scientist must confront the monstrous result of his ambition. With the fate of civilization hanging in the balance, he devises a final solution to restore order—and strength—to a world that forgot how to move.

In "Flight to the Future," a man named Ted flees his crime by volunteering for suspended animation, hoping to awaken in a world beyond his guilt. When he’s revived 20,000 years later, he finds himself in a city ruled by an aged man whose twisted descendants move like shadows through a ruined world. The old man reveals a chilling connection to Ted’s past, and as their confrontation unfolds, the sky splits open with a threat no one could have foreseen.

Jumpin' Jupiter, the galaxy’s most enthusiastic salesman, sets out to drum up customers for a soup company offering big paychecks. After a wild trek across space, he finally finds a buyer—a moonman who loves the soup so much he uses it as hair gel. Jupiter celebrates, only to realize with growing dismay that his reward will be paid in the very same soup he’s been hawking.

In "The Time Has Come," Alan Moore finds himself once again on a hostile world, this time facing a race of malevolent dwarf-like beings who seek to claim a planet rich in oxygen and water. With the help of Desua and her father Fenrir—whom he once saved—Moore must outwit the alien invaders, using their weakness to loud noises to stay alive as he fights to escape the planet’s deadly grasp.

In "Escape to Death!", Criminal Trask makes a desperate bid for freedom by hijacking a ship on one of Jupiter’s moons—only to find himself trapped in a coffin of metal with dwindling air and no way back. As the silence of space closes in, every breath becomes a countdown to a fate he never saw coming.
