Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #1

This is an anthology issue containing at least two science fiction stories. The lead story involves a space expedition traveling at nearly three times the speed of light who encounter space pirates hiding among planetoids; the volunteers are captured and must escape, eventually discovering a prehistoric landscape and landing their ship. A second story, "Wonders of Sea Life," documents unusual sea creatures including squid, which glow in the dark and are considered a delicacy, and discusses the variety of creatures inhabiting Earth's oceans.
