"
Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
"The Most Terrible Fate" is a 5-page story first published in Charlton's OUT OF THIS WORLD #7 [1958]. In a post-nuclear war world of a thousand years in the future, a young man finds out that his parents have been keeping a terrible secret from him. Kind of an over-wrought story with a twist you'll probably see coming, but the art is nice. Note especially the good panel progression across the top of the last page, ending with a classic Ditko extreme close-up of the eye.
But before the story, some links:
