In "Doomsday!", a nightwatchman at a secretive research lab stumbles upon a miniature world accessible through a newly developed device.

Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by William Weltman, this eerie tale blends scientific wonder with unexpected consequence, all rendered in the distinctive style of cover by Carl Burgos.
