Cover by Al Feldstein. Stories by Al Feldstein. Art by Wally Wood, Reed Crandall, George Evans, and Joe Orlando. EC's influential sci-fi comic was a reflection of its times. And none more so than this issue, devoted to the real-life flying saucer craze in 1950s America, and based on the book The Flying Saucers Are Real, by Major Donald Keyhoe, also the inspiration for the 1957 sci-fi classic Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. One article features the distinctive art of Wally Wood, portraying an atomic explosion on Mars, plus the observation that Flying Saucer sightings had a dramatic upswing after the US atomic bomb tests. Other articles are profusely illustrated retellings of real-life flying-saucer sightings and alien abduction claims.
