Weird Tales of the Future #3

In the stark silence of a Martian wasteland, Bob Burke—seven years a survivor of a crashed ship—finds himself drawn into a cosmic conflict when a colossal hand from Venus reaches out for help. The hand leads him to a shocking revelation: the being is Princess Teba, a shapeshifter fleeing Mercurians, alien invaders with elongated limbs and a hunger for conquest. Now, with the threat of war spreading beyond Mars, Bob must decide whether to stay on the red planet or join Teba on a journey back to her world.

In the grim depths of Uranus’s Lectium mines, a desperate rebellion brews beneath the shadow of Lord Kazmar’s iron rule. When Earth’s last envoys arrive, they find not just enslaved miners, but a hidden resistance ready to strike back with weapons forged in suffering. With Mike Banner and Ellan caught in the crossfire, the line between captor and captive begins to blur as the mines themselves seem to remember the cost of defiance.

In a delightfully absurd twist of cosmic vanity, Gzink Bfnxpp decides his good looks are a curse when a persistent admirer won’t take no for an answer—so he enlists Jumpin' Jupiter to make him less attractive. But when the transformation backfires in the most unexpected way, it’s the usually unflappable Jupiter who finds himself the target of affection, while Gzink’s plan unravels faster than a malfunctioning teleporter.

In the year 1995, Professor Cowles and his assistant Carson are caught in a nightmare when an experimental serum brings a suit of armor to life—only to turn on them. As they fight for survival, they realize too late that the creature they destroyed was not just metal and machine, but something far more tragic.

In "Nightmare World," Herman Lasher experiments with a mysterious chemical that plunges him into the subconscious realm—what begins as a tranquil journey quickly twists into terror when he confronts a grotesque creature that transforms him. Awakening in the real world, he discovers the horrifying truth: the monster he encountered is now his own reflection.
