Beware! Aliens on Earth! This one-shot from Avon was first published in 1950 and then reprinted in 1952. The main attraction is a three-part feature-length story by Wallace Wood who took some time out from his work at EC to produce this gem. The issue is filled out with reprints from Avon's EERIE COMICS #1, recognized as the first all-original, all-horror comic book.

I have the Wally Wood lead story in reprint a few times. I've not seen the back-up stuff before. Thanks.
