“The Raven and the Wasp”

In "The Raven and the Wasp," Jones attempts to repair a malfunctioning robot brain, only to accidentally summon his long-lost brother to Earth—trapped here with just one charge left in the machine. Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by Joe Certa, this 1961 tale blends sci-fi intrigue with a brotherly bond tested by cosmic circumstances. The cover, by Sheldon Moldoff, captures the moment with a striking, moody portrait of the two figures in shadow.
