The cover portrays all the hope that almost every science fiction story published ever promised. The image of a confident man and woman standing on the crust of a new, unexplored planet is inspiring. Al Feldstein’s art captures the idealism of the scene perfectly. The vastness of space is just not a black expanse; it is full of living stars and planets. The ship towers over the landscape and more humans are disembarking. The book contains the following stories: The Seeds of Jupiter!, The Escape, Beyond Repair, and The Probers. There is also a letter column titled Cosmic Correspondence and a text piece named Invasion!. Artists on this issue include George Roussos, Jack Kamen and Wallace Wood. This copy was taken directly from the files of the publisher of EC Comics, William M. Gaines. As a file copy, it never saw the regular route of distribution; it sat in a vault for years until Gaines decided to sell his personal collection. The pages are off-white to white. The book is CGC-certified 9.6. (NM+). This copy is tied with four others as the highest graded copy they have seen.
