In "Burial in Space!", Super-Turtle tackles a bizarre case when he investigates an overturned truck piled high with tomatoes. After relocating it to Elm Street at the officer’s request, he’s drawn into a comically frustrating encounter over the correct spelling of "Kosdanskio Street" — a moment of absurd bureaucracy that takes an unexpected turn in the stars. Written, drawn, and lettered by Henry Boltinoff, this 1969 adventure blends whimsy and mystery with a touch of cosmic oddity, all rendered in the distinctive style of cover by Carmine Infantino and Neal Adams.
