Gwandanaland Comics #614

This Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints Charlton's Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds, and the reproduced cover sets the mood perfectly — a lone figure in a wide-brimmed hat poles a small boat through a shadowy cavern toward a glowing, dome-shaped object of decidedly unearthly origin. The cover art is by Steve Ditko, whose unmistakable linework gives the scene a wonderfully eerie tension between the ordinary and the utterly strange. If you have a taste for mid-century sci-fi and supernatural anthology comics, this 2017 reprint volume is a genuinely satisfying way to explore them.
