Friday Fun REX DEXTER OF MARS "Puppet of the Ugly Queen"

...with a scheme involving one of the oldest concepts in sci-fi!
"As she dies, the spell is broken.."
But, the Ugly Queen's body is still alive as the souls/intellects switch bodies!
So, Cynde doesn't go through the trauma of experiencing death!
But, we lose the closest Rex will ever come to an ongoing arch-enemy...
Body-switching in fiction has gone on as long as fiction itself has existed!
Whether it's via magic, technology, or super-human psychic powers, 
Both Edgar Rice Burroughs and HP Lovecraft used it in novels.
TV series like Star Trek, The Avengers (Steed and Mrs Peel, not Marvel characters), X-Files, and many others have featured their primary cast members' bodies switched with antagonists!
Movies including All of Me, Freaky Friday (all of them) and the highly-underrated I Married a Monster from Outer Space based their premises on the concept.
In comics, this never-reprinted tale from Fox's Mystery Men Comics #23 (1941) is one of the first (if not the first) takes on the subject!
