- It! The Colossus Lives Again! · 15 pages
Special effects technician Bob O'Bryan, becomes a cripple after his legs get broken by a vengeful actor on the set he was working on. One night while working at the studio, he notices that the Colossus (which is being kept on the studio lot) is being stolen. Through concentration he finds he can transfer his mind into that of the Colossus like the aliens from Cancrius III had done. The statue is ultimately taken by Dr. Vault; a madman who wants to transfer his mind into the statues body to replace his frail mortal form. The Colossus is able to escape from Vault before ultimately collapsing.

A dying man traps Death to save himself but soon finds that Death is needed to keep the natural order intact and bring an end to those that are suffering. Realizing this, he frees Death and accepts his fate.
