Gwandanaland Comics #944

A treasure trove of early Steve Ditko science fiction, this 2018 Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints material from Space Adventures, showcasing Ditko's unmistakable linework at its most imaginatively kinetic. The cover art — drawn and inked by Ditko himself — pulls directly from a vintage Space Adventures issue, featuring a massive, wide-eyed alien face looming in the foreground while a terrified blonde woman and a menacing robot dominate the center, with figures scrambling across a spacecraft ramp against a dramatic sky. It's a wonderful showcase of Ditko's gift for tension and visual energy, making this album a genuinely satisfying read for fans of golden-age science fiction comics.
