“The Strange Courage!”

In "The Strange Courage!", a well-meaning fundraiser struggles to rally support for a Martian welcome display, haunted by memories of his own isolation after landing on Earth in a scout ship. The story unfolds with quiet emotional weight, exploring connection and empathy through the eyes of a being who once felt utterly alone. Art by Ed Winiarski brings the moment to life with expressive detail, while the cover by Carl Burgos captures the alien’s quiet determination.
