Mystery in Space #105

Mystery in Space #105 brings DC's "newest bizarre hero," Ultra the Multi-Alien, front and center in a vivid green-hued cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson — his strange patchwork body, part reptilian and part humanoid, twisting dramatically as crackling energy balls explode all around him. The cover's urgent question — "Can Ultra survive this deadly barrage?" — sets the stage perfectly for the interior tale, "The Energy-Eaters of Venus," written by Dave Wood with art by Lee Elias. A genuinely offbeat corner of 1966 DC science fiction, this one's a treat for fans who love their cosmic heroes a little on the weird side.
