Mystery in Space #74

Two red-suited figures, each claiming to be the real Adam Strange and each brandishing a ray gun, face off across an alien landscape while a dark-haired woman in a blue-and-yellow outfit — clearly Alanna — stands caught between them, a speech bubble spelling out the dilemma perfectly. The cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson crackles with that clean, dynamic energy DC science fiction did so well in 1962, framing a genuine identity puzzle that makes you want to flip straight to the first page. Billed as a double-length Adam Strange thriller, this one delivers a premise that's hard to resist.
