Blue Bolt Weird Tales of Terror #119
Blue Bolt Weird Tales of Terror #119 This issue is an anthology featuring multiple stories. "Demons of Docar" depicts a mysterious wooden chest that kills those who encounter it, with the narrative questioning whether the chest contains actual demonic creatures. Another story follows a couple, Jock and Martha, who escape from alien captors on a hostile planet and attempt to reach their rocket ship before a pursuing Dr. Stefan catches them, with the woman urging Jock to leave her behind if necessary to ensure his escape. A third story involves a man confronting a large jungle beast, discovering the creature's weakness and ultimately defeating the monster, while a mysterious woman observes from a distant city, remarking that she may use human guinea pigs to enter the fair city rather than risk entering herself.
