Where Monsters Dwell 1970 #3 - back issue - $30.00

The radiation from atomic bomb tests mutates a common ant, increasing his size and strength a thousand fold, and grants him human-level intellect. Calling himself Grottu, he declares himself king of all insects, and sets about on a plan to conquer the world, starting with Kenya. His efforts are foiled by an adventurer, who succeeds in turning Grotto's ant followers against him, leaving him for dead.

An advanced supercomputer turns Earth into a utopia, but suspicion remains, only to be inflamed when it is found to be building a giant robot. Humanity turns on the computer and destroys the robot, only to find that it was intended to replace the supercomputer, which breaks down, leaving humanity without its intelligence.

An ugly man rejected by society applies for a job in a freak show. It turns out to be a ruse by a race of aliens who are uniformly gorgeous, and so want a man with an ugly face they find fascinating to marry their queen.

A man happens upon a Martian spy in human form scouting Earth for an invasion but cannot get the authorities to believe him. He tracks down and kills the Martian, revealing that he himself is a Venusian agent in disguise working to protect Earth.
