Issue #1 includes the following stories: Last of the Really Great, All-American Joy Juice by Bill DuBay and Jose Ortiz; The Saga of Honey Dew Melons by Nicola Cuti and Esteban Maroto; Once Upon Clarissa by Bill DuBay and Alex Nino; Quick Cut by Bill DuBay and Wally Wood (story credited solely to Wood); The Saga of Xatz and Xotz by Bill DuBay and Alfredo Alcala; Bugs! by Bill DuBay and Joe Vaultz; Mutant World by Richard Corben (in color); Faster-than-Light Instellar Travel by Jim Stenstrum and Luis Bermejo; Angel! by Bill DuBay and Rudy Nebres; and Momma, Can You Hear Me? by Nicola Cuti and Alex Nino.
