About this Collection
This volume collects the science fiction stories of legendary comics creators Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, drawn from their 1950s work for publishers like Crestwood and Mainline. Featuring tales of space exploration, alien encounters, and futuristic technology, it showcases the duo's dynamic storytelling and innovative artwork from the dawn of the atomic age.
In "The Tree Men of Uranus," a mysterious triangular meteor brings unexpected danger to a space station when Captain Kelly discovers a walnut-shaped object inside. As lab technicians investigate, eerie beeps and sudden explosions signal an alien presence, culminating in a shocking encounter with a space creature linked to an old Sputnik satellite. Written and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Marvin Stein and letters by Joe Rosen and Artie Simek, this story unfolds with classic sci-fi intrigue, and the cover by Kirby and Simon captures its otherworldly tension.
