Strange Tales #47
“When Mankind Vanished!”
In "When Mankind Vanished!", an explorer’s club rejects a curious applicant for lack of traditional hunting credentials—only for the man to reveal a startling truth: he’s not from Earth at all. Penciled and inked by Vic Carrabotta, this 1956 tale from Strange Tales #47 delivers a quietly unsettling twist on adventure tropes, with Sol Brodsky’s cover capturing the mystery in bold, early Marvel style.
