Written by Duane Swierczynski. Art by Jason Felix. Cover by Tim Bradstreet. Marnie Young, an executive assistant in San Diego, is a sweet girl who wouldn't hurt a fly. She's also super lonely. But one night, without warning, Marnie has a violent seizure; co-workers recoil in horror as she writhes on the floor. Two days later, Marnie wakes up in a hospital room. As her vision comes into focus, she sees 17 doctors and nurses dead on the floor, blood splattered everywhere. Soon she discovers the shocking truth: Marnie has become lethal, and everyone who comes within three feet of her dies instantly! Which is really going to mess up her dating life (if she had one). Is there a cure? Can anyone get close enough to find out? 28 pages, full color. Rated M Cover price $3.99.

1st printing.

Edited By Michael Uslan. Cover by Murphy Anderson.

From the very center of the earth to the farthest edges of space, from the thrills of the near future to the last terror of recorded time, here in one fabulous collection are the best comic-book tales of science fiction ever published.

Produced by DC Comics from 1959 to the early 1960's, they are the works of the best and the brightest in the field, writers like Gardner Fox, John Broome and Otto Binder, and fantasy-art greats like Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson and Frank Frazetta.

From the earliest heart-wrenchers like "Do Not Open till Doomsday" to the most famous thrillers starring Adam Strange, here is a taste of a golden age of science fictions that has not since been equaled in comicdom, a time when there were giants and geniuses in the field.

Softcover, 248 pages, full color.
