What about REAL emotions, like vague annoyance? That's the only one I seem to have, anyway.

It's Adam Strange vs. Psycho-Man today--er, no, sorry, that's "The Emotion-Master of Space!" From a coverless Strange Adventures #243, reprinting 1963's Mystery in Space #83, written by Gardner Fox, pencils by Carmine Infantino, inks by Murphy Anderson.

When Adam zeta-beams to Rann this morning, his girl Alanna and the rest of the people immediately turn on him; which honestly does seem to happen like every other time he goes back there. Adam is able to outfly and outfight them, but then receives a mental message from the real bad guy, a smug green bastard in a ship shaped like what, a sparkplug? Turning his "emotionizer" on Adam, he makes Adam his "friend," unable to lift a hand against him. Then he gets down to the real work, switching his planet and Rann's places, because a platinum-eating space bird was coming. That's Adam's problem now! Also, the planet-swap has made some of the local flora poisonous, as Alanna finds out when her puppy dies. We don't see the puppy, alive or dead, just take their word for it. How Alanna doesn't go all John Wick on those green bastards, I don't know.

Also this issue: "Emperor of the Earth!" From 1961's Strange Adventures #131, written by Gardner Fox, art by Murphy Anderson. This is a relatively fun if absolutely boiler-plate standard sci-fi short: a science reporter finds his heirloom "scarlet stickpin diamond" has a duplicate in a pawn shop, and buys it. The two diamonds fit together, and the reporter receives a message from a beautiful girl in the hidden world of "Myorthis." Travelling to Brazil, he meets the griffin-riding Lyra, and has to fight mad scientist Zagor from firing up an ancient machine to change the earth's rotational axis. Once the day is saved, Lyra is free to come to America and marry the reporter, a happy ending...if she wanted to be a housewife, since that was probably the only option for her there! She had a goddamn griffin! Don't give that up...
