Weird Science #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "Made of the Future!", a heartbroken man stumbles upon a group of time-traveling tourists from 2150, drawn to the 1950s like curious explorers. Intrigued by their advanced technology, he journeys to their era and crafts a perfect companion using their tools—then brings her back to the present, where the real test of love begins.
In "Return," Zak, Albo, and Professor von Kugon land on a world their ancestors once called home—only to find it frozen in time, still wracked by the same devastating atomic war that drove them away millennia ago. The echoes of their past collide with the present as the crew confronts a planet that never learned to change.
In a world still reeling from the echoes of past conflicts, Professor Harlow and his assistant Arthur debate humanity’s endless cycle of war—until a shocking arrival from Mars forces them to confront the possibility that an alien threat might finally unite Earth’s nations. As tension mounts and the skies darken, Katey Mulrooney, Mike Flanagan, and Pat Flanagan find themselves caught in a desperate struggle for survival, while Joe, the newspaper worker, tries to make sense of the unfolding chaos.
