World of Fantasy #16

Col. Ken Travers leads a desperate mission to a colossal, approaching planet, where the strange laws of time may hold the key to Earth’s survival—though the crew begins to question whether they’re escaping doom… or becoming trapped in a timeless nightmare.

In "Arise, Oh Geni...", Claude Hicks stumbles into a bizarre twist when his hay fever inadvertently frees a genie whose grand plans of conquest are derailed by an unexpected allergy to the very world he sought to dominate. Trapped by his own immunity to the elements he once ruled, the genie must confront the irony of his freedom—and wonder if confinement was ever truly a prison.

In a 1959 tale of wonder and scientific curiosity, Dr. Stone becomes obsessed with the idea that microscopic worlds exist within microbes—so much so that his own experiments begin to blur the line between discovery and delusion. When Paul Stratton and Terry Mason join him in his isolated lab, they find themselves drawn into a mystery that may not be as far-fetched as it first seems.
