Adventure into Mystery #1
“Future...Tense!”
In "Future...Tense!", scientists make a historic leap by bouncing a radar beam off the moon—marking "man's first contact in outer space!"—a moment that feels thrillingly futuristic in 1956, even if real-world science had already achieved it years earlier. Bob Powell handles both pencils and inks for the story’s crisp, dynamic art, while Bill Everett delivers a striking cover with his signature bold style.
