Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with moody, atmospheric art by Gene Colan, this standout tale from Uncanny Tales #12 features a haunting cover by Ogden Whitney.
In a town that won’t let anyone stay, Herb, Paul, and Vic find themselves caught in a strange, silent standoff—until Herb’s heart leads him toward Wanda, a woman who won’t answer his plea to leave. As the air grows thick with unspoken dread, the truth behind the town’s eerie stillness begins to surface.
When a young scientist named Carl Benton witnesses the moon's surface reflect a radar beam, he realizes he's made a discovery that feels like science fiction—though in reality, it's a moment rooted in actual history. The experiment, a quiet triumph of human curiosity, opens a new frontier in space exploration, one that feels both thrilling and strangely familiar.
In "The Conquerors," an alien fleet descends upon Earth, subjugating humanity with cold efficiency. When a group of rebels manage to capture the commander, they make a bold promise: to teach him dignity, and in doing so, end the invasion.
