Hey, I just picked up an AAF #8 as well! Mine is slabbed, however, so I'll have to look forward to your posts on it.

Hey, Tom As my AAF 8 gives new meaning to the phrase, "beat up", I'd thought I might save you the time and potential damage to a better book.

Kudos to Tom for bringing this thread to the fore, and to Dan for the Yo Yo story from AAF 8, not too mention Sgt Fury, FF, ASM and Strange Tales just before.
Strange Tales 68 - April 1959
In the story "Last Warning Evacuate Earth", aliens warn of an impending attack on earth. However they have targeted convention delegates who appear to be inebriated, a young biker couple who are to hip to worry, or others who are just indifferent or too busy to listen. In the end the aliens call of the attack assuming the people of earth are too powerful to be concerned, and therefore must be too strong to overcome.
In "Trapped in Tomorrow" a greedy inventor of a time machine travels ahead 50 years to 2010 to glean information on the stock market and other events so he can return to 1960 and make a killing. As he is preparing to return, he's demoralized to find he parked his time machine in an electronic garbage disposal field and was lucky not to be present when it was disintegrated.

Strange Adventures #144 - September 1962
In the two part tale, "When the Earth Blacked Out", the Atomic knights encounter furry blue mole men sowing odd plants that emit black smoke. Events are not going well for the knights when Bryndon hits upon the idea of using fire fly's for light with pumpkins as the delivery mechanism, to derail the mole men's plans of world domination, since light from a conventional heat source would be detected and foiled from a great distance by the mole creatures.
