Weird Fantasy #3
In "Project... Survival!", Dr. Masterson faces a daunting challenge for the Space Colonization Authority: transporting live animals across light-years for future colonists.

With art by Jack Kamen and a cover by Al Feldstein, this 1980 issue of Weird Fantasy delivers a chilling blend of sci-fi and emotional tension, all in a story that feels both eerily plausible and deeply unsettling.
