The Mad Pharoah / One Of Us Must Die / I Come From The Sky / The Tree

"The Mad Pharoah" (sic) - When an excavation unearths a mummy that disappears, people are quickly confused. Tony Stark learns that the mummy wasn't actually dead, but was actually in suspended animation. He brings Stark back to the past with him, enlisting his aid to overthrow Cleopatra. It's not long before Stark escapes, and takes Cleopatra's side instead, racing against time to defeat the Pharaoh and return to the present before his armour needs to be recharged.

"One Of Us Must Die!" - While on a routine intergalactic hop in the spring of 1998, a meteor storm damages a spacecraft. The air supply has been comprimised, leaving only enough air for 5 of the 6 people on board. It is up to the captain to decide who is sacrificed, and he cannot choose himself as nobody else can land the craft.

"I Come From The Sky" - A communist arms dealer crashes his plane in the wilds of Africa, where he finds and awes a tribe of primitive people. They are remarkably impressed by his technology and abilities, but that doesn't lead where he expects it to.

"The Tree" - (prose) - Wally and his family have moved into a new home, with a very unusual tree in the back yard. Wally loves the tree, but his parents are less taken by it.
