World of Fantasy #17

In "It Hides in the Forest!", a young dog named Spot proves he’s more than just a pet when he spots an Eruditian scout hiding in plain sight—disguised as a tree. With Dudley and the Eruditians watching, Spot’s keen instincts expose the alien’s ruse, forcing the invaders to reconsider their plans.

In "The Man from Tomorrow!", Humphrey Pym finds himself caught between worlds after posing as a time traveler in New York—only to be confronted by real temporal agents who aren’t impressed with his lack of subtlety. His bold stunt quickly turns into a high-stakes chase through the city’s streets, as the future’s enforcers demand he be sent back before he disrupts the timeline.

In a world where nuclear fallout births strange new powers, Frederic Kane’s mind becomes a weapon—his telepathy letting him outthink every foe. But when his brother Philip Kane turns to science, he builds a robot with no thoughts to read, turning the tide in a battle of wits and wills.

In the vast silence of space, a lone robot guards a distant lighthouse station, its duty questioned by those who doubt a machine can uphold such a sacred role. When the rogue spacefarer Bruko sabotages the station to lure a ship into an asteroid field, the robot makes a final, desperate choice to protect lives—destroying itself to send a warning.
