“Only Twelve of Us May Live!”

In "Only Twelve of Us May Live!", a rogue planet hurtles toward Canopus Minor, forcing a desperate choice: only twelve can escape. Sfeen devises a radical solution—shrinking the entire population to miniature size to fit aboard the limited craft. With art by Joe Sinnott and coloring by Stan Goldberg, this 1959 tale blends cosmic dread with inventive sci-fi, all framed by Jack Kirby’s dynamic cover and Christopher Rule’s inks.
