Nice cover, but to me it doesn't look like Wolverton art.

I'm with you, Superman. Don't know how anyone could mistake this for Wolverton.

GDC gives 'Wolverton' with a '?' Given that the distinctive aliens on the cover are drawn exactly the same as in the first story, it's likely drawn by Andru and Esposito. GDC is another source that isn't always right. Am I the only one who sees the irony in a 1952 story, 'The time has come' starring one Alan Moore? Who also has a vague physical and costume resemblance to Tom Strong?

I'm struck by the ad for "Kelpidine Chewing Gum (Improved Formula)." Especially the phrase, "Fat Men & Women, who are normally overweight." Does this mean that fat people usually are overweight, which is a no-brainer? Or does it mean the gum only works on normally-fat people but not on abnormally-fat people? I wonder what's in the gum. Kelp? Speed? Both?

It's interesting to compare "Ten Thousand Years Old!" (beginning on Page 3 here) with the story "Exhibit One!" from AMAZING Adventures #2 (/?dlid=4945) (beginning on Page 12), which was published in 1951, or late 1950 [the issue is copyrighted with a 1950 date]. Both stories start out EXACTLY the same, and even the dialogue is similar -- the endings of both stories are different, though.
