“The Highway to Tomorrow”

In "The Highway to Tomorrow," a man stumbles upon the secret to invisibility and quickly turns his fortune—until he loses the antidote that could bring him back. With his visibility now a matter of survival, he faces a choice that tests his conscience and his grasp on reality. Art by Mort Meskin and Marvin Stein brings this eerie, early sci-fi tale to life, while John Prentice’s cover captures the story’s unsettling promise.
