Weird Tales of the Future #4

"Day of Doom!" delivers a striking early sci-fi tale from 1952, where inventor Arthur Bergholm receives a revolutionary Interstellar Drive from a time traveler named Ranu, sent from the year 5070. With art by Eugene E. Hughes and inks by the same, the story follows Bergholm’s test flight to a distant planet—only to return and find Earth destroyed after 400 years. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Basil Wolverton and Ed Robbins, captures the cosmic scale of the journey.
