This was really good! It definitely has a Twilight Zone feel to it! I was surprised by a lot of the endings. I didn’t know where they were going to go. I know a lot of people aren’t interested in comic books like this but it’s the beginning of Marvel as we know it so I have a certain level of appreciation for it. I don’t know if I’ll read anymore since I read this issue and issue #15 but if you haven’t tried it out at least give this one a try. The art is a little awkward in some places but I really enjoyed the storytelling.

No more dr Droom and I'm happy. Amazing Adult Fantasy had 5 short stories instead of four, and all of them are comics. I really enjoy short stories, so these were a joy.
First story was about a boy who finds a crashed space ship and discovers a log where there are instuctions for the pilot to disguise himself as a human and invade earth. He looks for help and finds none, until he gets to space scientist who points at him. The log was actually not written in English, which meant the boy was the alien all along!
Then, there is a story about Sidney Blake, a man who decides to protect himself and only himself from the horrors of war in an undergroud bunker, When he comes out, he discovers he's the only man left. The rest of humanity has left to a better life in another better planet and he is all alone.
Then we have the story of a woman accused of witchcraft who is saved by Ben, her lawyer, only to discover that he is a male witch.
We also have the story of a thief who uses a time machine to escape justice, only to accidentally murder the man who invented the time machine and find himself back in the clutches of the police.
Last, we have the story of an alien race landing in Time square and humanity being unable to communicate with them, but the communication is saved when a child approaches the aliens and plays with their child, showing that we're not so different after all.

I quite enjoyed this little assortment of Twilight Zone style stories. Predictable and silly as they were, at least their brevity prevented me from getting as bored as many of the book-length titles of the era tend to make me.
