Posted on by Dr. Evans

Some people are not always fans of comic books. Some think its silly or just kids stuff, however, comic books can and are capable of incredibly powerful stories.

Case in point is this story from last days of EC Comics entitled “Judgment Day” that appeared in Weird Fantasy #18 published in 1950.
