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.

SynopsisIn the year 2552 a scientist is disgusted that due to advanced technology, humans have entropied bodies with no muscle since no one does anything remotely physical anymore. He creates a serum that will devolve humans to the point when they had muscles. His serum is too powerful though and his assistant Luga devolves into a savage caveman. Luga gives the serum to others and the savages take over the city. Ultimately the scientist is able to kill Luga, and assures the rest will return to normal. He then administers a weaker dose of the serum to the population to make them strong.
