All-American Comics #7
"Midsummer in New York" introduces a surreal twist in All-American Comics #7, where two men, Ted and Alan, mysteriously wash ashore in the Atlantic—claiming to have just returned from Mars. Only Dr. Lazar, a man of science and quiet curiosity, takes their wild tale seriously. Written by Carl H. Claudy and illustrated by Stan Asch, this early 1939 adventure blends mystery and early sci-fi with a grounded, enigmatic tone, all rendered in the distinctive style of the era. The cover by Stan Asch captures the moment of their dramatic arrival, a striking image that hints at the story’s otherworldly core.
