Marvel Tales #152

A massive, otherworldly figure trapped inside a translucent sphere hovers ominously over a panicked cityscape in Joe Maneely's striking cover for this 1956 Atlas anthology. Crowds scatter across rooftops and streets below while horrified onlookers in the foreground react in disbelief — all set against a fiery orange sky that gives the whole scene an urgent, unsettling glow. With stories teasing "When the Bubble Bursts!" and "The Menace of the Mole Men!", Marvel Tales #152 delivers the imaginative sci-fi dread that made these mid-1950s anthology titles so compelling.
