My Greatest Adventure #26

From DC's science-fiction anthology series comes My Greatest Adventure #26, dated December 1958 and featuring a cover by Nick Cardy that crackles with late-'50s robot menace. A man seated inside a bubble-domed vehicle watches in alarm as towering mechanical men stomp across a barren landscape, one of them hoisting an entire house while another strides destructively nearby — his desperate speech balloon reading "Something's gone wrong! The robots are out of control — they're disobeying my orders!" Inside, Mort Meskin and George Roussos bring their storytelling craft to "We Battled the Sand Creature," making this a satisfying package of the imaginative adventure tales that defined DC's pre-superhero era.
