After recently checking out Humayoun Ibrahim’s comic adaptation, I had the urge to reread the original Vance story and stumbled upon this Dennis Dobson edition that contains “The Moon Moth” and four other Vance shorts. Of course, the title piece is amazing, but the others?  “The World Between” & “Brain of the Galaxy” are adequate, but nothing special. Then there’s “The Devil on Salvation Bluff,” a total yawn inducer, and “The Men Return,” notable only for how pointlessly weird it is. Perhaps these four would have fared better not being bundled with a titan like “The Moon Moth?”
