- Synopsis
- A movie producer's next film is a sci-fi picture featuring a giant robotic monster. Bad press convinces him to abandon the project but just as he's about to disassemble the robot, an alien invasion fleet lands. He sends the robot lumbering towards them and they ineffectively fire their nerve weapons at it. Next, they try gas, which of course has no effect on the machine either. Panicked, they flee to their saucers resolving never to return. People express their sympathy to the movie producer that all that money was spent with nothing to show for it, but he knows better.

- Synopsis
- An alien bigot attempts to preach hate by hiding his face under a hood. When he assaults one of the people he is defaming he flees the police to escape capture. When he attempts to remove the hood, he finds another underneath it. He tries again, and there is still another, always another hood. A policeman shakes his head sadly as he walks away from his cell, the bigot convinced he would never have been captured if not for all these hoods. He continues to remove hood after hood with his hands, but there is nothing there.

This story is a retelling of "Men in Black" by Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr. from Menace (Marvel, 1953 series) #3 (May 1953). Interestingly, the original and prior tellings were not science fiction stories, and featured an ordinary, human, bigot. The distancing device of making the story a science fiction allegory may be a reflection of growing racial tensions.
