Synopsis for "Betrayed by the Ants!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Tales to Astonish #38

A group of mobsters, afraid to commit crimes in fear of getting captured by Ant-Man come to the realization that they don't have the intelligence to defeat their foe. Days later they learn of a scientist known as "Egghead" who was discharged from the U.S. Government Atomic Energy Board under allegations that he was selling government secrets to the highest bidder. The mobsters then hire Egghead to find a way to defeat Ant-Man. Egghead agrees to do so for the price of ten grand.

Egghead begins by learning everything he can about ants and constructing a device that could communicate with ants via electrical impulses (much like Ant-Man's helmet). Using this device on a nearby ant hill, Egghead commands the ants there to lure Ant-Man into a trap that he has set for the hero.

Returning to the mobsters' hide out, he reveals to them that he plans on trapping Ant-Man on fly paper and tells them that while Ant-Man is being lured to the trap they can conduct the jewel heist they were planning.

Ant-Man, being led to the scene of the crime by his ants, is blown into a box lined with fly paper by Egghead using a bellows. Surprisingly, Ant-Man is not stuck on the paper and uses spring-loaded boots to hop out of the trap and attack the mobsters, whom he easily defeats with his human sized strength.

While the crooks are distracted, Ant-Man commands his ants to trap them by dropping a large sheet of fly paper that the ants carried up the ceiling and dropped on them from overhead. The escaping crooks find that their getaway vehicle has had the tires flattened and the keys stolen and are quickly rounded up by the police. Egghead manages to escape.

Overhearing Ant-Man's explanation to the police, Egghead learns that the ants did not betray Ant-Man and told him of Egghead's plot, allowing him to prepare for the trap by instructing his ants to sabotage the crooks' escape car and having the necessary equipment to overcome Egghead's traps.

Although Egghead escapes, his defeat causes him to go into hiding until he finally becomes a rambling derelict in a Bowery flophouse.

Synopsis for "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

The soldiers in Sept tried to ambush Nick Fury upon his arrival in Cairo. However, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. managed to hide beneath the desert sands, using his blowpipe as a primitive snorkel. When the mercenaries give up and head back to base, Fury uses his particle-beam blaster to blow up the truck. With nobody to pick him up, Fury wonders what to do next. This worry becomes a moot point when he is found by a traveling caravan led by Nasr al Din. Impressed with Nick Fury, al Din offers Fury a place to stay until the morning and then offers to help him get into Cairo proper. Fury accepts this offer, nobody aware of the fact that one of Nasr's men, Hamid, is loyal to Sept.

Back at al Din's camp, Fury learns about how armed soldiers have been seen in the area recently. Growing impatient with Fury's continued presence, Hamid excuses himself to plot against him. Fury then gets a call from Countess Valentina who is checking in to see if he is okay. He tells her what happened and that he will meet with them in Cairo in the morning. Later that evening Septs leader, Abdul Kazir, finds the wreckage where Fury slew his men and vows to eliminate him once and for all.

When Fury bunks down for the night, Hamid decides to make his move. With a sword in hand, he sneaks into Fury's tent, and plans to slay him in his sleep.
