In "It!", Wally Martin leaves his job as cook for the Planeteers to launch a spacefaring restaurant, only to face sabotage after turning down a suspicious buyout offer from Eben Kinnel. When Tommy returns on leave, he teams up with Willy’s friends to uncover the saboteurs, track down a rare ingredient, and save the outpost—before it’s lost in the void. Curt Swan’s art, with inks by John Fischetti, brings the cosmic kitchen to life, while Win Mortimer’s cover captures the high-stakes drama in bold, dynamic style.
