Weird Tales of the Future #2

In "The City of Primitive Man," a 1952 sci-fi tale from Weird Tales of the Future #2, a disillusioned scientist in the year 2552 attempts to reverse humanity’s physical decay by creating a serum that reverts people to a more muscular, primal state—only to unleash chaos when his assistant, Luga, transforms into a savage caveman and spreads the serum across the city. With Basil Wolverton’s wild, dynamic cover art capturing the story’s fevered energy, the issue explores the perilous edge between progress and regression, all written with a sharp, speculative eye.
