I've wanted to read this comic ever since I saw a reproduction of the great Basil Wolverton cover a while back, and I was not disappointed - as a matter of fact, I rate this book a "10", it was perfecto! Wolverton does three stories here, two straight sci-fi and one humorous, minus the constant rhyming dialect of his that drives me nuts whenever I see it. There were also two non-wolverton tales, and they're great, although no artist credits are given. One of them features a space adventurer named - Alan Moore! How funny is THAT? LINE OF THE BOOK: a toss-up between "If only I had carried a nerve ray!" and ""I knew we shouldn't have added formaldehyde just to create a new flavor!". I could say more here, but read this one for yourself - you won't be sorry!

"Escape to Death" (Weird Tales of the Future #2) is retold as the text story "Death Rides the Galaxy" in Weird Tales of the Future #6. Read them both to see the similarities!

3 Basil Wolverton stories, plus the cover! Wow. And Jumpin' Jupiter is a pretty funny story, not at all what I would expect from a 1950s scifi comic. The Alan Moore, Space Adventurer story isn't all that good, too many inconsistencies, but it's interesting that it's a continuing serial, and not just a one-shot story.
