In "Evil Is a Baaaaad Scene!!," a scientist who predicted atomic war and sealed himself behind a force field for two decades emerges to find the world transformed—where a longevity serum grants a thousand-year lifespan, but only to those under thirty. Written by Jack Oleck and illustrated by Bob Forgione, with inks by Jack Abel, this 1976 Marvel tale explores the unintended consequences of progress through a chilling, thought-provoking lens. The cover, by Gene Colan, Ed Hannigan, and Tom Palmer, captures the story’s eerie, futuristic tone.
