“Space-Enemy Number One!”

DC's Mystery in Space #29 delivers a wonderfully unsettling scenario right on its cover: a human stands in an alien police lineup alongside a parade of bizarre extraterrestrial figures, while an older man at a control panel operates the "Mechanical Manhunter" — a device that, according to the cover caption, singles out the Earthman as Space-Enemy Number One! Gil Kane's pencils and Joe Giella's inks give the scene a crisp, mid-1950s sci-fi energy, blending the procedural tension of a police procedural with the imaginative weirdness only outer space can provide. With John Broome's writing and Carmine Infantino's interior art behind "Space-Enemy Number One!", this 1955 issue showcases DC's anthology sci-fi storytelling at its most inventive.
