In "When the Earth Was Young!", Professor Terence Flemyng awakens from a vivid dream in which he unwittingly triggers the evacuation of New York City—only to find strange, lingering proof that the dream might have been something more. Penciled and inked by Kurt Schaffenberger, this eerie tale from Forbidden Worlds #90 (1960) blends science and surrealism, leaving the line between vision and reality dangerously blurred. The cover, by Ogden Whitney, captures the dreamlike unease of the story’s central mystery.
