In "Between Two Fires," Martan and Vana—aliens from the peaceful planet Antaclea—arrive in war-ravaged Europe, appalled by the devastation they witness. After reflecting on their own world’s violent past, they flee to America, only to learn at a local theater that Martians have invaded Earth. William Kent’s distinctive art brings the story’s emotional and fantastical contrasts to life, both in the interior pages and on the cover.
