The owner of a crematorium burns his wife alive when he thinks she's having an affair, astronauts find an advanced civilization on a jungle planet, a reporter chases down a string of interstellar kidnappings, a mortician collects trophies of his work; these are the kind of stories that await the reader in the first issue of STRANGE GALAXY.

Adopting the practice of beginning a series run with a higher number than "1" to dupe newsstand owners into thinking a magazine was successful enough to make it through the first few issues, Eerie Publications, never noted for making total sense when matching a magazine title with its contents, mixes here a heady brew of stories based in both outer space and terra firma.
