Keywords: Hostile aliens. War. Bomb. Judas.
Synopsis: Hostile aliens conquest planet after planet,
and now the Earth is on the line. The Earth sends St. John to
prevent them with a bomb, but St. John is actually judas.
Comment: Corben's artwork is messy as B&W, but brilliant in
colors. Richard Margopolous' story has only one merit, an excellent ending.
Color: This story
is painted, despite most
(or even all the rest?)
of Warren stories were made
by overlay technique (to
cut down expenses).
The B&W version was prob.
photocopied from the original,
because of messy result.
Sometimes
they used the earlier B&W
version (as was in a case
of "Change...
Into Something Comfortable").
