Space Adventures #26

This anthology issue contains multiple science fiction stories. The lead story depicts a spacecraft escaping from an exploding inner planet, with the surviving crew and passengers evacuating to the asteroid Hermes after the planet Hsein-Chul detonates. A second story, "Footprints of Fear," is a text feature about a radio broadcaster organizing an expedition to the Himalayas to investigate reports of a legendary Snowman, encountering mysterious large footprints in the snow. A third story follows an astronaut crew who mysteriously returns to Earth after six months in space, having been spotted by astronomers, only to be whisked away to a military hospital for examination.
