This was the first and only issue. It also included Beyond Hell, The Earth-Stealers, and Speed Will Be My Bride, and included interior art by Jack Kirby, Joe Simon and Alex Schomburg.

The cover itself is a bit of a mystery. The ISFDB and Wikipedia lists it as a Norman Saunders, but NormanSaunders.com disagrees, and to me it looks nothing like Saunders’ work. ComicsBookStories has it tagged as H.J. Ward, which looks slightly more plausible, but still seems unlikely.
