From Beyond the Unknown #20

Two red, fish-finned creatures burst from the surf wielding a massive net, bearing down on a young couple enjoying a seaside picnic — it's a genuinely unsettling image that earns the "Stories to Stagger the Imagination" tagline right on the cover. Nick Cardy's pencils and inks bring real energy to the scene, capturing both the alien menace of the sea-born hunters and the panic of their would-be catch. Beyond the lead story "Fishermen from the Sea!" — written by Gardner Fox with art by Mike Sekowsky and Joe Giella — this 1972 anthology also promises "Inter-Planetary Restaurant," "When Did Earth Vanish?," and a Star Rovers tale, making it a satisfying grab-bag of DC sci-fi imagination.
