Description

As is often the case with science-fiction stories from the Atom Age, the hubris of man causes the central conflict in this dazzling story! With caption boxes written in second person, the story follows a scientist who discovers a dangerous new form of microscopic life borne of the conditions caused by constant war. After failing to destroy them with conventional means, the scientist decides (in an act of hubris!) to simply hop in a time machine and make sure they never evolved in first place. We get some beautiful imagery as he travels back in time on page 3 before he finally lands in 2,000,000 BC and is immediately beset by all manner of beasts including a Tyrannosaurus Rex on page 4, narrowly escaping to the future- where in the customary ironic twist the microscopic beings have grown larger than man and taken over the world!

This is an especially well-drawn story with every from the backgrounds and machinery of the lab to the creatures are boldly and intricately depicted. Grand Comics Database notes that John Giunta is the likely inker for this story. Also included is a copy of the published issue. Pencil and ink on 5 pages of heavy art board, each measures 15" x 22".
