Bryce Walton
2) Last Call
A soldier of the Disciplinary Corps hadn't cracked up in all the years of Captain Morrow's service. Bronson was the first ... Bronson who reckoned he was one of the rare beings who had heard THE CALL from Mars.
4) Runaway
Mosby finally escaped the deadly boredom of his urban life and he managed to take with him over a quarter of a million dollars. Now wounded, buried beneath piles of filthy rags, trying to escape from the cold and detection, he pondered if it had all been worth it.
When his parents leave him alone in his house for the weekend, a teenager can't get a woman off his mind. When he turns to a visitor for advice, the motto "Show don't tell" comes into play—vvwith disastrous results. One of Bryce Walton's darkest tales, this crime classic originally appeared in the September, 1957 issue of MANHUNT.
Our 85th issue is quite the treat—three original tales by three top authors, a time-travel story, a fantasy bar story, two novels, and more! I leave it to you to explore this issue and find out what's what, which is whose, and whodunit. (Or did they?) It's a fun issue and one of our best.

...
