“He Chose Danger”

In "He Chose Danger," Col. Tommy Tomorrow leads a daring lunar mission to the Sea of Eternity, where a mysterious pollen from alien flowers threatens his crew. With the fate of Earth's uranium supply hanging in the balance, the team must rely on ancient Moon Men microfilm and a surprising remedy—common salt—to survive. Written by Jack Schiff, Mort Weisinger, and Bernie Breslauer, and illustrated with striking detail by Virgil Finlay, this 1947 adventure blends Cold War-era science fiction with early space exploration wonder. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by George Papp and Virgil Finlay, captures the mission's high stakes and otherworldly danger.

In 1967, the U.S. President meets with the Secretary of Planet Patrol. The world's supply of uranium is low, so they will send a mining expedition to the Moon. Weeks later, Col. Tommy Tomorrow is briefed for the mission to the crater known as the Sea of Eternity. Ten sleek space cruisers travel to the Moon to initiate "Operation Luna". Soon after arriving, the crew gets sickened by pollen from poisonous Moon flowers, but ancient microfilm from an extinct Moon Men race tells Tommy that common salt will cure his crew!
