Item Bio

"River of the Dead"
Gullivar Jones has been transported to Mars and finds himself with awesome powers, acting the role of a hero in rescuing Princess Heru from being delivered to the Warlords of Mars. The rescue isn't over yet, as giant slugs, spider-monkeys, and...worse yet...the monstrous Phra.

"Gargantus!"
Reprinted from Strange Tales (Vol 1) #80.
An undersea explorer takes an experimental bathysphere deeper that man has ever gone before, and encounters Gargantus. The monster's curiosity gets the best of him and he explores the surface world, convinced of his own superiority until the different environment gets the better of him. 7 pages.

"The Things from Dimension X!"
Reprinted from Strange Tales (Vol 1) #80.
A scientist, convinced of the reality of alternate dimensions, keeps working on his theory, at the cost of repeatedly losing his job. One night at home, creatures from another dimension breach his home apparatus to invade Earth, but the most unlikely protectors turn them back. 6 pages.
