Another I love, from ALIEN WORLDS 3, July 1983, a 10-page story titled "The Inheritors", a hauntingly beautiful story by Bruce Jones, with art by Scott Hampton, taking place after the self-annihilation of the human race in a nuclear war, and aliens coming to earth to re-populate it, but having to go through a series of painful surgeries to adapt to Earth's environment. They feel sadness, both for the death of human civilization, and also for having to leave their world to repopulate the earth.
With a few dying mutant humans running loose, not quite dead yet, but dying.
Also somewhat reminiscent of Bradury's THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. With two other stories in this issue by Ken Steacy and Tom Yeates. All three great reading.

It has a twist ending that is reminiscent of "Judgement Day" from WEIRD FANTASY 18 (1953), that is widely regarded as the single best story EC ever published.
