In "The Monster on Mars," a 1952 sci-fi thriller from Weird Tales of the Future #3, Professor Cowles’ groundbreaking serum accidentally animates an ancient suit of armor in his castle laboratory—only for the creation to turn violently against its maker. With art by Tony Mortellaro and letters by Howard Ferguson, the story unfolds with eerie precision, culminating in a shocking revelation about the suit’s true nature. The cover, a striking piece by Basil Wolverton, captures the tale’s unsettling tone.
