* In the story "Transformation Complete" (''Weird Science'' #10) a scientist named Emil Hinde invents a formula that can change the patient's gender. Emil is also a BofyriendBlockingDad to his daughter Terry and he fears that she's going to leave him when she marries her boyfriend Lee. Lee comes over with a cold and Emil gives him an injection of medicine. Strange things begin to happen to Lee: his skin softens and he stops growing facial hair. This along with a sudden desire to stay clothed causes tension and he argues with Terry before suddenly disappearing. Terry puts two and two together: her father gave Lee the formula to turn him into a woman. She disappears with some formula, causing what Emil was trying to prevent all along. Months later he's invited to their wedding and he comments: "Terry made a very handsome groom and Lee, a lovely bride." While the story probably wasn't written to support gender fluidity it still has a message about ThePowerOfLove.

* "Shoe Button Eyes" is soul-crushingly depressing right up until the very end. The protagonist is Billy, a little blind boy whose loving but sickly mother marries an abusive tyrant. The absolute [[HateSink hate sink]] [[WickedStepmother wicked stepfather]] terrorizes both Billy and his mother, and tears out the shoe-button eyes of Billy's teddy bear to mock his own blindness. At the end, the mother dies of her illness after spending money meant for her medicine on new shoe-button eyes for the teddy bear. In a fit of rage, the stepfather beats Billy to death. But then, [[spoiler:the teddy bear comes to life and savagely kills the stepfather, and sews the buttons onto ''his'' eyes. And Billy and his mother are reunited in Heaven. It's the best Christmas he's ever had, because he can finally see, and "everything's so pretty."]]
