“The Big Show on Planet Earth!”

In "The Big Show on Planet Earth!", a well-meaning alien scientist races to save Earth by unveiling a revolutionary machine that renders all weapons useless—only to face pressure from his own kind, who want to weaponize the invention for conquest. George Roussos handles both pencils and inks for the story, bringing the tense sci-fi drama to life with expressive, dynamic art, while Bob Brown’s cover captures the alien spectacle with bold, striking detail.
