☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "My Home...", a stranded, invisible gas-being on a forgotten planetoid must confront the unintended consequences of its desperate defense when an Earth crew arrives to harvest its world. Trapped inside the silent ship, the being now drifts through the void, haunted by the echoes of the lives it unknowingly ended.
In a chilling tale from *Weird Fantasy* #21, G.B.I. man Keston infiltrates the doomed starship *Mercury*, posing as a crew member to uncover the truth behind a string of mysterious deaths—each linked to the enigmatic Jargot. As he uncovers the horrifying secret that Jargot has been draining the crew’s blood to fuel the ship’s engine, Keston finds himself hunted. Just as all seems lost, he’s rescued by Sangor, a vampire who has been spared from the slaughter—only to reveal his own dark intentions, turning the tide of survival into a far more dangerous game.
In "Planely Possible," a grieving Walter Thurmond is offered a terrifying chance by hospital lab technician Dean Warburton: a journey into alternate planes of existence, one where his late wife Ruth still lives. Though drawn to the hope of reunion, Walter soon finds the reality of that world far more unsettling than he imagined.
