Beyond the Sun
7.67 pp · adventure; aviation; science fiction
Captain Midnight [Captain Jim "Red" Albright]Ichabod "Icky" MuddChuck RamseyJim Rogers (head of Interspace Airways)Xog (villain, King of Saturn, introduction)un-named Saturnians (villains)

In "Beyond the Sun," Captain Midnight and Icky race to Saturn after detecting signs of life, only to be captured by Xog, the Saturn King, who plans to conquer Earth using a gaseous ring to summon creature-warriors and build rocket ships from thin air. With quick thinking and a daring invention, Cap devises a Gas Disintegrator to fight back against the alien forces.

Keep Away
1 pp · humor

Pilot Pete's plane suffers a catastrophic motor failure and goes into a tailspin, leaving him scrambling to find somewhere—anywhere—to set down safely. When he spots what looks like a clear landing spot, he discovers the owner has other ideas about where aircraft are welcome.

Easy As Pie
0.5 pp · humor

A waiter presents his restaurant's dessert options with a tongue-in-cheek twist: pies "like Mother used to make" come with one price, while pies "like Mother used to try and make" cost considerably more. It's a quick, punchy gag that plays on the gap between homemade perfection and, well, culinary ambition.

Never Again
1 pp · humor
Pilot PeteHorace

When Horace corners Pilot Pete with one of his trademark pestering questions about flying without a parachute, Pete decides to spin a tall tale—one involving a catastrophic engine failure at 20,000 feet and a discovery that lands him in quite the predicament. It's a classic setup for a humorous comeuppance, as Pilot Pete's exaggerated yarn comes back to haunt him in the most absurd way possible.

America in Peril!
8.67 pp · adventure; aviation
Captain Midnight [Captain Jim "Red" Albright]Dr. Osmosis (villain)

When Dr. Osmosis infiltrates Captain Midnight's Nevada laboratory and steals the Chameleon Oil—a device that lets him assume another's appearance—he uses it to impersonate the hero himself, rallying a fascistic veterans' organization to seize control of America. The real Captain Midnight, left bound and trapped in his own lab, must escape and race across the country to expose the imposter before Dr. Osmosis's power-mad scheme reaches the nation's capital.
