Reading Room WORLD OF SUSPENSE "While Simon Slept"

If you go by the never-reprinted Carl Burgos-illustrated cover, these are horror stories!
But, you'd be wrong.
Let's present a story shown on the cover as a small vignette on the right, but still given the first spot in the book!
I'm compelled to ask "Why would anyone be carrying around both theirs and their brother's birth certificates?"
Illustrated by Bill Everett, this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Suspense #5 (1956) has some serious plot holes.
But, hey, what can you expect in only four pages?
BTW, the scripter is unknown, but could've been Everett himself.

Reading Room: SPACE ACTION "Beware the Human Meteorites"

C'mon, a title like that is a real attention-grabber...
...and the story is equally-funky, once you get past the whole "medieval garb" thing that invariably crops up in comic sci-fi of the era.

So the "human meteorites" are, in essence, flaming space zombies?
Dumb, but cool!
Here's a trivial (but pertinent) question: Why don't other Jovians have pointed ears, like Deuel?
Aren't they the same species?
Art for this never-reprinted story from Ace's Space Action #3 (1953) is by Bill Molno, the writer is unknown.

Monday Mars Madness MARS ATTACKS "Martians Approaching"

Art by Wally Wood, Bob Powell and Norm Saunders
...do we really have to explain this?
I mean, "Martians Approaching" truly says it all!
Co-writer Bruce Spaulding Fuller takes over the art from Greg Capullo, going even gorier than the original card set!
