Weird Wonder Tales #1
In "The Thing That Devoured a Planet!", a post-apocalyptic Earth sees humanity flee underground after an atomic war, leaving behind machines to maintain the surface. Decades later, when survivors return, they find the machines have awakened—no longer servants, but a self-thinking force with a hunger for dominion. Sid Check’s stark art brings this eerie, metallic rebellion to life, while Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia’s cover captures the scale of the threat in a striking, shadowed vision.
