We begin the repeats with our cover story, "The Fish-Men of Earth" by John Broome, Carmine Infantino, and Bernard Sachs which comes to us from Strange Adventures #56 (1955). Aliens use a weapon that causes the atmosphere of Earth to become super-dense, like their homeworld. Dr. Walker and his assistant Jim find a way to counter the effect.
Next up is "The Devil's Island of Space" by Joe Millard and Murphy Anderson and reprinted from Mystery in Space #46 (1958). Willy Elkins promises to escape from a prison planetoid in 30 days.
That is followed by "The Most Dangerous Man on Earth" by Gardner Fox, Mike Sekowsky, and Bernard Sachs and which is reprinted from Strange Adventures #129 (1961). While experimenting on a ray to prevent the common cold, Jeff Carter accidentally causes himself to emit radiation that causes all vegetation to grow wildly out of control.
The next story is "Destination – Star" by Gardner Fox and Carmine Infantino and is reprinted from Mystery in Space #14 (1953). Ralfe Gordon warns other space travelers that going faster than the speed of light is dangerous.
Our next story is "Tomorrow's Hero" by John Broome and Sid Greene and reprinted from Strange Adventures #112 (1960). Ral Grayson is a mutant with the ability to understand things quickly by just seeing a portion of the process. He uses his ability to figure out the one weakness of the Borg who have taken over Earth.
That is followed by "The 24,000-Hour Day" by Otto Binder, Manny Stallman, and John Giunta and is reprinted from Mystery in Space #49 (1959). Brad Stanton and Jim Kirby answer an ad for space-miners promising to pay them $1000 a day. When they sign on they learn that one day on this asteroid is 24,000 hours long.
Our last story is "The Answer Man of Space" by Gardner Fox and Sid Greene and reprinted from Mystery in Space #73 (1962). Evan Wright can answer any question whose answer is in a book he has read, but can he answer a question about something he has never read before?
