Adventures into the Unknown #14
In "Witch Who Wouldn't!", a scientist frozen in cryogenic sleep for a million years wakes to a world unrecognizable—where humanity has fled Earth and the few left are being forced into an alien army. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Carl Burgos, this early Arnold Book Company tale blends sci-fi dread with a haunting sense of isolation. The cover, by Ogden Whitney, captures the eerie stillness of a forgotten world.

Certain that the world will soon descend into nuclear war, a brilliant scientist goes into cryogenic suspension for a million years, hoping to awaken in a more enlightened time. Instead, the world quickly retreats from war and advances rapidly. By the time he awakens, most humans have left Earth, and the few remaining are being rounded up to serve as conscripted soldiers in an alien war.
