Mystery in Space #77

This August 1962 DC gem puts Adam Strange front and center as he jets through the sky in his red suit, pistol drawn, desperately trying to locate whoever is operating a colossal purple ray-gun that's blasting energy bolts toward the city of Rann far below. The cover art by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson crackles with urgency — that massive weapon dwarfs Strange completely, making the stakes feel genuinely enormous. As a bonus, readers also get a new Star Rovers story, making this double-length issue one of the more satisfying packages DC offered that summer.
