So Johnny becomes a galactic trouble-shooter who must face the greatest dangers that threaten humanity and triumph over them i¿½ or perish. Â The first story, "A Coward Named Mayhem," sends him into space on a brave man's mission. But how can he succeedi¿½trapped as he is in the body of a man with a coward's reactions?
