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.
