This title debuted in 1948. The horror and mystery genre was starting to catch on with the public and Timely created one of the most memorable titles of the era to meet that need. This is one of the most fantastic science fiction covers you will ever see. It is nothing more than a depiction of the end of the world. It is one thing to read about this in a book, it is another thing to see it on the newsstands just as fear of an atomic bomb was reaching new heights. The book features art by Russ Heath. The pages are off-white to white. The book is CGC-certified VF/NM 9.0.The CGC census lists it as the highest graded copy they have seen. The cover alone is worth the price of admission!
