Synopsis for "When a Planet Dies!"
The Earth cools and humans move underground. Their surface instruments detect a planetary body heading towards them and they take a vote as to they should destroy any possible competitors for their warm pocket or wait. The vote goes against one who wishes to launch a missile, so he takes matters into his own hands, but he is defeated by the hero of our story who councils restraint. When the object finally arrives, it is not a planet at all, but a sun which melts the surface ice. The humans return from up out of their shelter, unknowingly observed by two aliens far distinct who indicate that they sent the body to observe human's reaction to its approach.

He escapes by tricking the jailer into looking into his fountain pen while pulling up the lever, and while he is running from the pursuing jailer, he comes upon the thick fog once more.

Trivia
- The appearance of two characters called 'Aunt May' and 'Uncle Ben' drawn by Steve Ditko in this issue a few months before Amazing Fantasy #15 is almost certainly not a coincidence, though it would be hard to reconcile these two characters with the later established histories of May and Ben Parker.
