Strange Tales 1951 #168 - 7.0 - $14.00

Yandroth's shot sends Strange plunging into the abyss, but the Ancient One uses the Trans-Hypnotic Jewel to stop his fall. Strange uses his Cloak of Levitation to grab Yandroth, but sees the Viking women about to kill Victoria. To save her, he releases his grip on Yandroth, sending him plummeting through the Dimension of Dreams, where he will eventually become nothing more than a dream himself. Banishing the phantoms, Strange whisks Victoria back to Earth where the memory of her ordeal will soon fade.

AS Fury begins to doze off in his office he gets a call from Val about a UFO. Landing in mid-town Manhattan a news crew and crowds gather to observe the emergence of an alien named Vaengr. He offers them The Prism Of Miracles which will banish hatred, crime, war and violence. Fury, Val & Dugan search the spaceship and discover Vaengr is not what he seems. Val & Dugan are fried to ashes by the alien who mutates into a monstrous insect-like form and gloats about his destruction of earth. Fury is awakened from his nightmare by Dugan, who tells him of a report just in about a UFO...
