The Thing #2

In "The Red Death," a 1952 Charlton comic, an alien entity imprisoned in a tank awakens to confront a malevolent planet responsible for spreading deadly, cancerous growths across Earth. With art by Albert Tyler and inks by Bob Forgione, the story unfolds as the creature fights to save the planet—only to face a sudden, unexpected threat from space. The cover, also by Bob Forgione, captures the moment of cosmic peril with striking, early sci-fi flair.
