This is the regular first-print edition. Collect the 2 variant covers on their own pages.

After losing contact with the first mission to Venus, a second ship is launched to investigate. They find the lost ship floating in space. The crew of the Venus-2 board it, and find that all organic matter (flesh, rubber, plastic) has been eaten away. They find a hastily written note, warning them about a gray fog that attacked the first ship, causing the devastation. Before they can return to their own ship, the searchers see the fog moving to attack it, and the captain orders the remaining crew to flee back to Earth. The search party then watches resignedly as the fog turns towards them.
