“Missing---One Scientist!”

In "Missing---One Scientist!", a 835-year-old time capsule is unearthed, unleashing three criminals into a peaceful, nonviolent society. When a quiet man finally stands up to the chaos, he sets in motion a plan to return the offenders to suspended animation. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Charles Nicholas, with inks by Vince Alascia, the story unfolds with a rare blend of suspense and quiet resolve. The cover, by Ogden Whitney, captures the moment of discovery with striking, period-accurate flair.
