My Greatest Adventure #57

DC's long-running anthology series delivers a wonderfully tense cover for this July 1961 issue, with art by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff. A lone man armed with only a spear and shield faces down an enormous, glowing-eyed creature before a packed crowd of spectators, while a robed official declares that surviving this "Trial-by-Creature" is the only path to proving his innocence — a premise that's equal parts sci-fi strangeness and pulp adventure. The featured story, "Don't Touch Me or You'll Die," illustrated by Ruben Moreira, promises more of the era's imaginative, anything-can-happen storytelling that made My Greatest Adventure such a compelling ten-cent read.
