Stories
- The Wonder of the Ages!!! Magneto! · 13 pages
A strong man is exploited and abandoned, unable to find work except in a freak show. His size makes him the perfect pilot for an experimental space flight, on which he gains magnetic powers. He attacks society and runs amok until a rocket is created to take him into space and find somewhere where he can fit in.
- The Inventor · 2 pages
A disgruntled janitor's obsessive effort to create a sweeping robot costs him his job and ends in failure, but only because he sees no use for a perpetual motion machine.

A greedy lawyer steals a time machine in order to profit from knowledge from the future. Once there he is tried for stealing the machine and his lies are useless against the telepathic jury.
