“Earth Hero Number One!”

In "Earth Hero Number One!", set in the far future of 2956, a classroom of students learns about Calvin Jackson—the unassuming mailman whose actions in 1963 averted an alien invasion, earning him a place in history and a school named in his honor. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Gil Kane with inks by Murphy Anderson, this story blends sci-fi wonder with a quiet tribute to everyday courage. The cover, also by Murphy Anderson, captures the moment with a striking, timeless image.
