"The bottom line involves choices. Neither gods nor humans have ever stood calmly in a minefield forever. Good or evil, they are bound to choose. And when they do, you will see the truth of all that motivates us. As a thinking being, you have the obligation to choose. If the fate of all mankind were in your hands, what would your decision be? As a writer and an artist, I've drawn my answer." - Jack Kirby

Actually one of the guest stars is on the cover - CARY BATES and they're standing in front of 909 Third Avenue - the then home of DC! :roll:

An interesting story with some sweet tones, but I'm not sure why the solidified photon menaces being projected by the TV didn't "melt" through the pavement or the grating that Supes uses to carry Big Bertha away from the scene...I need to have a Hostess Fruit Pie and think about it some more... :wink:

The cover photo was taken by DC production manager Jack Adler on the corner of Park Avenue, New York, and features (left to right) DC staffers Bob Rozakis, Cary Bates, Jack C. Harris, and E. Nelson Bridwell.

The cover art was added later, then it was sent off to the printers.

Editor Julius Schwartz, and publisher Carmine Infantino came up with the idea.
