In "Doomsday for Planet Earth Part 1," Maj. Tommy Tomorrow and Maj. Lon Vurian are summoned to the Academy of Planetary Sciences to confront a dire threat: an anti-matter cloud hurtling toward the solar system. With only ten years to evacuate 20 billion people or find a way to stop it, the two officers lead separate missions—one to investigate the cloud, the other to find a new home for humanity. As their desperate efforts remain secret, whispers begin to reach the public, raising the stakes. Written by Arnold Drake and illustrated by Lee Elias (with inks and lettering by Elias), this pivotal issue features cover art by Elias and marks a landmark moment in the series’ early run.
