The Human Torch vs. the Wizard and Paste-Pot Pete!
Story Featuring Human Torch
Storyline
Johnny practices on his obstacle course, then thinks back on his adventures with The Wizard and Paste-Pot Pete. By a wild coincidence, Pete breaks The Wizard out of jail and the two join forces. They frame Johnny as a spy, but their partnership is strained by Wiz's megalomania. "I'm a partner, not a servant, you know!" says Pete.

Story Notes
The Wizard last appears in issue #105 (February 1963), he next appears in a cameo in issue #112, before appearing in issue #118 (March 1964). Paste-Pot Pete last appears in issue #104 (January 1963), he next appears in a cameo in Avengers (Marvel, 1963 series) #6 (July 1964), before appearing in Strange Tales #124 (September 1964). More humor than usual in this issue. First time these two villains teamed up in what would become pretty much a lifelong partnership!

Story Notes
This is the first Doctor Strange story. It's clear there's a lot of history between Strange and Nightmare. Doctor Strange resembles Vincent Price, who played a magician in the Roger Corman-Edgar Allan Poe film, The Raven (1963).
Silent Stranger
Storyline
A quiet new worker at the plant turns out to be a friendly alien who finds mechanical work easy to learn after walking through space.
