pages 25-27     The Seed of Fear

Brilliantly scripted cosmic horror tale ("The Hideous Seed fell from Space.") effectively illustrated with collage and drawings. This is one of several tales that incorporates the cosmic philosophy underlying much of MR's work ("Earthquakes split the surface of the planet. All because of the Seed of Fear."). One of the best MICHAEL RODEN stories ever. Highly recommended. This story was later (twenty-three years later) reprinted in THE BLACK BOOK II.

Collectors might also note that this issue contains some fine horror stories (and a swell back cover drawing) by ROMAN SCOTT.
