A Very Special episode of 'Year of Cool Comic Book Moments'

A Year of Cool Comic Book Moments -- Day 188.

When Brian Cronin first posted this comic book story, Judgement Day, from last week's installment of Comic Book Legends Revealed, it was explained that the astronaunt in question had to be colored as a Caucasian instead of an African-American due to the limits at the time from the Comics Code Authority. After the story was published, it was praised by everyone, including Sci-Fi great Ray Bradbury.
