Mystery in Space #84

From DC's Mystery in Space comes this June 1963 installment featuring Adam Strange in a genuinely desperate spot: his ray gun dissolving uselessly as he fires it at the Dust Devil, a swirling, vaguely humanoid tornado creature taunting him that without a working weapon he stands no chance of winning. The cover, penciled by Carmine Infantino and inked by Murphy Anderson, captures that classic Silver Age sci-fi tension beautifully — a hero in his signature red-and-white costume backed against the odds on an alien landscape. Interior work from the team of Gardner Fox, Infantino, Joe Giella, and Gaspar Saladino promises the kind of clever, imaginative storytelling that made this series a standout of its era.
