The Halloween Season has Begun...
The comic's printing job is terrible, even for the low standards of comic books of the era!
For the sake of clarity, we're presenting the b/w original art for six of the seven pages!
Ironically, the comic tale is a far more faithful adaptation of the story than the movie Beast from 20,000 Fathoms which came out at the same time!

This was one of the last comic adaptations of Bradbury's work in the 1950s.
The earlier ones were done by the legendary EC Comics crew, and initially, were also uncredited and unpaid...until Ray Bradbury found out!

And Be Back Next Friday for Another Startling Saurian Story from the 1950s!
