In "The Man Who Ran Away," a haunting tale from 1954, survivors of a post-apocalyptic World War III struggle to rebuild in a world reduced to savagery, their desperate attempts at peace undone by the ever-present cycle of violence. Paul Reinman handles both pencils and inks for the stark, evocative interior art, while Artie Simek’s lettering adds to the story’s tense atmosphere. Gene Colan’s cover captures the grim mood with a striking, shadowed image of a lone figure fleeing into the ruins.
