Mystery in Space #32

Three yellow-skinned, reptilian alien figures stand puzzled aboard a spaceship, staring at a fully set dining table — complete with steaming dishes, coffee service, and uneaten meals — where human passengers have inexplicably disappeared. Gil Kane and Joe Giella deliver a wonderfully eerie cover that pairs the mundane (a perfectly ordinary dinner spread) with the genuinely unsettling (whoever was sitting there just vanished). DC's Mystery in Space was firing on all cylinders in 1956, and "Riddle of the Vanishing Earthmen!" promises exactly the kind of imaginative cosmic puzzle this anthology did so well.
