Is that story 'The Thing From the Center of the Earth' in the recent upload of Thrills of Tomorrow 018 a reprint story from another book or is this the original and the other is the reprint?
I recognized a panel I had copied from a book downloaded earlier.
Just check the GCD, rez,
and you'd see it's a reprint. I guessed it was for two reasons:
1. I don't own a copy and if it was new material, I think I probably would.
2. The Pierce Rice story is definitely a reprint. He wasn't doing comics in 1954.
BTW, the story you ask about is drawn by Warren Kremer - of Richie Rich fame.
