Five-Score Comic Monthly #2

In "The Birdboy of Metropolis," a 1958 gem from K. G. Murray, the Zaxians—a kind alien race—send a gift to Earth: a spaceship meant to be piloted by one of their own. But when their chosen astronaut is called to defend them from a sudden hostile invasion, the fate of two worlds rests on a single, unlikely hero. Written by Otto Binder and brought to life with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino, Bernard Sachs, and Gaspar Saladino, this story features a striking cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye.
