House of Mystery #93

From DC's long-running anthology comes this December 1959 issue of House of Mystery, with a cover by Nick Cardy and Jack Adler that delivers an unsettling science-fiction scenario. A man stands trapped inside a glowing cylindrical chamber beneath an eerie lamp, his body already beginning to transform into a metallic figure, while a completed robot looms to the left and a horrified onlooker thinks, "This factory changes humans into metal men! And I'm next!" It's a wonderfully tense piece of late-'50s sci-fi dread, wrapping cold-war anxieties about dehumanization into a single chilling image.
