There's a heatwave in New York this July and a pirate radio station has hit the airwaves. It's all the rage with the locals. The DJ, Travis T. Hipp, warns his listeners of a wild pack of dogs roaming the streets. Daredevil attempts to save a man from the dogs and even though he manages to beat them away, he's too late. Before the man gives up the ghost, though, he beseeches Daredevil to seek out a scientist named Ellington and warn him that the dogs will be after him. Daredevil manages to find Ellington's lab and his private journals. The writings reveal that Ellington was one of four scientists hired by Octagon to develop intelligence-boosting drugs. They used stray dogs as test subjects. The animals developed higher intelligence, escape and have been systematically hunting and killing the four scientists. After Daredevil has learned all of this, Ellington returns to the lab and confronts the vigilante for trespassing.

written by Len Wein
art by Hugh Hayes
The tranquility of deep space is interrupted by a heartwrenching moan that lures the Silver Surfer to a derelict spaceship. The ship has clearly been ravaged and left to the abuses of drifting in space. Upon closer inspection, the Surfer finds the dead bodies of the crew. Unexpectedly, the corpses rise and attack the Silver Surfer. Using the power cosmic, he defeats them all - but, they rise again. This cycle continues until the Surfer is herded into the ship's control room. The ship reveals itself to be a sentient being - one who has suffered much damage. It's wounds are irreparable and it siphons the Surfer's power cosmic to end its long-suffering agony through self-termination.
