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.

1st printing. Written by Bill Watterson. Art by Bill Watterson and John Kascht. From Bill Watterson, bestselling creator of the beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, and John Kascht, one of America's most renowned caricaturists, comes a mysterious and beautifully illustrated fable about what lies beyond human understanding. In this fable for grown-ups, a long-ago kingdom is afflicted with unexplainable calamities. Hoping to end the torment, the king dispatches his knights to discover the source of the mysterious events. Years later, a single battered knight returns. For the book's illustrations, Watterson and caricaturist John Kascht worked together for several years in unusually close collaboration. Both artists abandoned their past ways of working, inventing images together that neither could anticipate-a mysterious process in its own right. Hardcover, 8-in. x 8-in., 72 pages, full color.
