Strange Adventures #145

A scientist drinks a glowing golden liquid in his laboratory, declaring it will make him immortal — while a figure from the future appears in a gleaming portal behind him, desperately warning that this act of self-preservation will doom the entire human race. Murphy Anderson's crisp linework gives this October 1962 DC anthology issue a genuinely unsettling tension, placing one man's ambition against the fate of humanity. Featuring "The Man Who Lived Forever!", this is Strange Adventures at its thought-provoking best — science-fiction storytelling with real moral stakes baked right into the cover.
