In "Gurr, Go Home!," Ira Grimble—a man gifted with both ESP and powerful psycho-kinesis—finds himself pulled into the government's space program, where his abilities are put to use. Tired of being exploited, he dons a space suit and, with a single thought, lifts himself into the void, seeking connection beyond Earth. Written by Kermit Lundgren and illustrated by Paul Reinman, with inks by Reinman and letters by Ed Hamilton, the cover by Ogden Whitney captures the moment of Ira’s daring departure.
