Retro style comics book page. Panel 1: Richard Clayton Cold, Doctor Omega, and Southland Brown sit around a table looking at maps. Caption: Doctor Omega's ship, the Cosmos, can travel by air, land, or under the sea. The Doctor, Richard Clayton Cold, and Southland Brown discuss which is the best route to the Amphibimen/Verdissia marchlands. Panel 2: The Cosmos drives over grasslands. Blue ape-like warriors mounted on coyote-horses surround it. Caption: Travel by land would take them through the lands of the Ghoulians, fierce warriors and staunch military allies of the Amphibimen. Panel 3: The Cosmos traveling by air over a desert. Flying around it are men with pterodactyl wings. They are holding long spears with their feet and have guns mounted on their helmets. Caption: While travel by air would inevitably lead to a confrontation with the airborne army of Pterrod. The Pterrodans are officially neutral in the Great War due to a non-aggression pact with Rabazar, but are nevertheless tied economically to the Amphibimen. Furthermore, they would probably not take kindly to any craft emerging from the territory of Darr, their ancient enemies. Panel 4: A hand points to a map. Caption: Brown, ever the smuggler, suggests they use the Cosmos' submarine capabilities to travel through the Sea of Monsters and up the river to land near their destination, evading detection. Next: Inspiration!

Retro newspaper strip-style comic book page. In a circular panel, the purple-skinned man talks against a yellow background. Below, on the left of the page, a green frog-like man in a purple costume slouches on a throne. He is surrounded by three females of his own species who are blue, red, and green. On the right side of the page, characters approach a sci fi city on wolf/horse creatures. An image appears in the sky of a redheaded man in a pulp sci fi outfit, with a Chinese woman holding him tight. Behind them, an old Chinese man fiddles with a device of some sort. Text runs through the middle of the page, saying: The purple-skinned man explains that he is Colonel Storun of the Imperial army of the Vallant Kingdom. He is no stranger to Earthmen, since three humans – the American athelete Blaze Banyan, the Chinese scientist Dr. Mingze Kwong and his daughter, the Chinese-American college student Morgan Kwong - have served for years by his side in this world's resistance against the expanding military dictatorship of Rabazar the Ruthless, Emperor of the Amphibimen. The Amphibimen have long ruled over the swampland that wraps around Clarion's equator, but the evil Rabazar has begun a war of conquest both northward and southward, with the ultimate goal of ruling the entire world. The two most powerful nations opposing him, the Vallant Kingdom and Darr, are on opposite sides of the planet – in the northern and southern hemispheres, respectively. The area Khalfani and Satin Jim have found themselves in is a key battleground in this war, as it represents one of the few breaks in the equatorial blockades. It allows supply lines between these two countries and elsewhere. Next: Planning!

Captions: The night, Cold is awakened by a glowing apparition appearing before him! It is Moonchild again!

Comic book page with an art deco style layout. Panel 1: Cold, Brown, and Doctor Omega walk away from their spaceship in a desert. Caption: Also on Counter-Earth at this time is space mercenary Richard Clayton Cold, a former member of the Apex Society! He has been travelling of late with the inventor Doctor Omega and Cold's oldest friend, the troubled smuggler known as Southland Brown.

Panel 4: The Doctor examines one of the robots. Caption: The Doctor, as always, came to enjoy the sights and sounds of a new place... Panel 5: Southland Brown smiles at two passing bald women in retro-futuristic attire. Caption: While Southland was intrigued by the seemingly aloof and definitely hairless women of this city. Panel 6: The walk away from him and he's left scratching his head. Caption: Until he learned their coolness towards him was not an act of “hard-to-get” coquetry, but a reflection of the fact that the reproductive act here is strictly regulated based on “genetic fitness,” Something which Brown, much to his surprise, does not possess. Next:- Understanding!
