Mystery in Space #108

Mystery in Space #108 brings DC's patchwork hero Ultra the Multi-Alien to the cover in vivid, unsettling fashion — trapped in a sticky pit, his half-green, half-blue body straining against the muck while a massive, red-eyed plant creature looms behind him and a sneering villain in red gloats from the left. Murphy Anderson's cover art packs the alien landscape with creeping purple monsters and crackling energy, making "The Invasion of the Colossal Creatures" feel like a genuinely overwhelming threat. Writer Dave Wood and artist Lee Elias bring the interior story to life in this entertaining slice of mid-1960s DC science fiction.
