House of Mystery #60

A tense observatory scene anchors this March 1957 DC anthology, with three men crowded around a large telescope as one recoils in disbelief — "Good heavens! It — it CAN'T be! I don't dare tell you!" — while something strange and fiery blazes in the purple sky beyond. Ruben Moreira's cover art wrings genuine dread out of a simple premise, turning an act of stargazing into something far more unsettling. Inside, Mort Meskin contributes to a packed lineup that includes "The Thing in the Telescope," "Prisoner on Canvas," "Million-Dollar Magic," and "Master of Thrills" — all new stories for a dime.
