A freshly clean-shaven Captain Simon Savage and the Raiders assault an island where a Savage look-a-like, which led to Savage shaving, is selling arms to the Japanese. They are to arrest him and bring him to justice. They find themselves captured by the gun runner, Jake Malloy, and being treated extremely hospitable. A group of Japanese soldiers spring an ambush on the Raiders and seeing them outnumbered, the American gun runner directs his men to assist the Raiders in defeating the Japanese soldiers. After their victory, Savage arrests Malloy but tells him they will speak on his behalf at his trial for assisting them against the Japanese.

Synopsis for "A Martian Walks Among Us!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Strange Tales #78

A scientist sees a flying saucer land and is overpowered by the larger Martian. Since the creature thinks he's dead, he assumes his appearance and lets slip that only infrared rays can detect his disguise as he gathers information for a planned invasion of Earth. After he departs, our hero, who was only stunned, resolves to alert the authorities but they don't believe him. He builds a device that will alert him to the presence of the creature in his disguise and tracks him to an office building. The device goes off in the presence of the night watchman and the alien shifts into the more powerful Martian form, forcing our hero to flee. He rolls to the side as the Martian charges forward and plunges to his doom down the elevator shaft. Our hero then removes his disguise to stand revealed as a Venusian and affirms their pledge to defend the beloved sister planet Earth from the dangers of outer space.
