    Stories and art by Harry Harrison and Vince Napoli. Sci-fi adventure from Youthful Magazines. A gigantic spacecraft from another galaxy appears over the Earth, demanding fealty to The Legion of Space, and even Captain Science's alien supercomputer is outmatched.

Hideous blobs from space plan to devour Earth and all who dwell upon it, unless Captain Science can stop them, in another story with a strong horror bent. Plus an article about the real-life history of alchemy. Bondage cover with strong horror elements by an unknown artist. The Legion of Space; The Hangmans Son; Can Science Make Gold?; Heads of Horror!; Brant Craig: The Hot Money Space Mob!
