My Greatest Adventure #58

DC's My Greatest Adventure #58 from August 1961 serves up small-town paranoia at its most unsettling, with cover art by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff. The cover depicts two pink-skinned, yellow-accented aliens seated across a desk from a silver-haired man — presumably the mayor — while a mysterious figure lurks just outside the window, prompting the alarming declaration: "Those aliens have taken over the town — and our mayor is in league with them!" It's a wonderfully tense snapshot of Cold War-era sci-fi anxiety, the kind that made DC's anthology titles such compelling ten-cent thrills in 1961.
