House of Mystery #157

House of Mystery #157 brings DC's "Dial H for Hero" feature front and center, spotlighting Robby Reed — the boy who can change into 1,000 super-heroes — as he faces "The Marauders from Thunderbolt Island." Jim Mooney's cover lays out the action in vivid comic-strip panels, showcasing three of Robby's transformations: the crackling Super-Charge, the speeding Human Bullet, and the alien-visaged Radar-Sonar Man, each squared off against a different threat. It's a lively, inventive 1966 DC package that captures exactly what made this era of comics so imaginative and fun.
