“Made of the Future!”

In "Made of the Future!", Harvey Kurtzman crafts a thought-provoking sci-fi tale where Arthur and Professor Harlow debate humanity’s endless cycle of war—only for the professor’s theory about an alien threat uniting Earth to be tested when Martians arrive. With Kurtzman handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, and Al Feldstein’s striking cover capturing the moment of extraterrestrial arrival, this 1951 EC classic delivers a timely, imaginative take on peace through peril.

Arthur is having a discussion with Professor Harlow, claiming that as long as man is alive on Earth, there will be wars. But the professor doesn't necessarily agree with that assertion. Arthur gives an example of how a group of people can band together to violently face a threat from the outside, and the professor conjectures that possibly a threat from outside the Earth would unite all nations together as one to ward off that threat, and possibly end war once and for all. That threat does come: from Mars!
