Unusual Tales - What Happened?


"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.

"What Happened?" is a 3-page story from Charlton's OUT OF THIS WORLD #3 [1957].

Simple enough little science fiction vignette.  The Ditko touch on the faces is nice, and that spiral effect around the planet on the first page is eye-catching and memorable.

Some links to check out:

Scans in this series generally adapted to my personal tastes from those copies

Clicky to biggy

  1. Talk about symbolism!
    In the last panel, the planet's coronal ejecta is spinning opposite that which it did at the beginning of the story.
