“New Year's Day”

In "New Year's Day," Captain Tornado, Professor Bordani, and his daughter Jane find themselves stranded on a strange planet after a crash landing, only to be captured by a hidden underground civilization that has long since retreated beneath the surface to survive the giant insects that rule the skies above. Written by Kenneth Kennedy and illustrated by Newt Alfred, this 1940 adventure blends sci-fi wonder with the quiet tension of a society built in shadow, all rendered with the distinctive style of cover by Will Ely.
