Notes
- "The Gorilla Who Challenged the World" continues in "The Jungle Emperor!" in the next issue; both stories are reprinted in From Beyond the Unknown Vol 1 6.
- "A World Destroyed!" infers the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter were once a planet named Koron.
- "The Invisible Spaceman!" implies Darrin Clure was the first man to perform a manned trip to the Moon in 1955 on board of a rocket named M-1, taking off from a place named Rocket City. In Real World, Apollo 11 (July 16–24, 1969) was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon, taking off from Kennedy Space Center. Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56 UTC. Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later, and they spent about two and a quarter hours together exploring the site they had named Tranquility Base upon landing.
