Synopsis

The editor of Fables Publishing Company (the publisher of Weird Science) is concerned that some of the Weird Science stories put together by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein are coming true. When a group of hostile aliens attack the building, it's revealed that the two (along with the entire staff) are really aliens from Venus who had survived the Martian massacre of their home world and had come to Earth.
