My Greatest Adventure #3

My Greatest Adventure #3 delivers the kind of heart-in-your-throat thrills that made DC's anthology titles so irresistible in 1955. John Prentice's cover puts you right on the edge with a daredevil tightrope walker, one arm pinwheeling for balance, caught on an icy section of wire stretched across a dizzying mountain chasm while a crowd of horrified onlookers watches from a wooden platform — the caption spelling out exactly how desperate his situation is. Beyond that nail-biting scene, the issue also promises tales of buried-alive survival and the hunt for Captain Kidd's treasure, making this a packed ten-cent package of pulse-quickening adventure.
