In "The Man Without a World," astronomer Bradley Wells finds himself caught in a cosmic crisis when the alien Sardor abducts him to shrink and exploit entire planets for their elemental wealth. Jack Kirby's dynamic art brings the scale of this interstellar threat to life, from the eerie vastness of space to the intimate tension of Wells' desperate gamble. A gripping tale of courage and ingenuity, with Kirby handling both pencils and inks for the interior and cover.
