My Greatest Adventure #17

Deep in an ancient Inca ruin, two lantern-bearing explorers recoil as a massive stone warrior carving appears to stir with eerie life — it's a genuinely unsettling image that captures DC's 1957 anthology series at its atmospheric best. The cover, penciled and inked by Ruben Moreira, uses dramatic underground lighting and Mesoamerican stonework to build real dread around the featured story, "We Found the Petrified Man!" My Greatest Adventure #17 is a fine example of the era's taste for globe-trotting mystery, delivering that perfect ten-cent promise of the uncanny just waiting to be discovered.
