Weird Fantasy #16
In "The Last City," the final radio station in America faces extinction at the hands of television, and its defiant owner, Norman Network, fights back with a shocking claim: TV signals are erasing viewers from our world, sending them to another dimension. Harvey Kurtzman’s sharp storytelling and bold art—joined by Ben Oda’s crisp lettering and the eerie, surreal cover by Al Feldstein—craft a chilling vision of technology’s unseen cost, where the line between reality and the unknown grows dangerously thin.

Norman Network refuses to allow television to run his (and the last) radio station in America out of business, and has devised a plan to win the battle: by convincing people that the rays from television sets are harmful to the viewer. And Doctor Litmus provides the proof: that television viewers disappear from their existence in the Earthly plane, then travel and exist in another dimension.
