In "My Home...", a hauntingly poetic tale from 1953, a family fleeing Earth’s destruction settles on Mars, believing they’ve found a new beginning among the silent ruins of a dead civilization. Written by Ray Bradbury and Al Feldstein, with evocative art by John Severin and Bill Elder, and colored by Marie Severin, the story unfolds with quiet dread as the father’s promise to his children takes on a chilling new meaning. The cover, a striking collaboration by Al Williamson and Frank Frazetta, captures the eerie beauty of a world reborn from ruin.
