Trump Reading Room STRANGE TALES "When a Planet Dies!"

Perhaps he thinks omnipotent aliens, like these guys frim Atlas' Strange Tales #97 (196x) cause climate change...
While the art is credited to Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, who wrote the tale is not entirely clear.
A number of people, myself included, think it's scripted by Kirby himself.
(BTW, if you think I was looking for an excuse to re-run one of my favorite Kirby Klassics...you'd be right!)
When the story was reprinted in Marvel's Weird Wonder Tales #22 (1973), the splash page was reworked...
...combining the cover from a previous issue of Weird Wonder Tales that supplied the Dr Druid figure...
Art by Jack Kirby, John Romita (Dr Druid's face) and Joe Sinnott
 ...and the original splash page!
The production artist "flipped" a stat of the Dr Druid figure and fit it where the bearded aliens are on the original.
To paraphrase "the World's Most Interesting Man", stay cool, my friends!
