Mystery in Space #93

This August 1964 DC gem features Space Ranger in "Captives of the Space Giant!" — and the cover by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff delivers exactly the kind of wild sci-fi peril the title promises. A massive green alien looms over the scene, its smirking face dominating the background, while a space-suited hero scrambles across an arena floor facing down a crouching, menacing pink creature as an energy blast erupts between them. The hero's exclamation — "Great Jupiter! I'm being lowered into an arena to battle that fantastic creature!" — perfectly captures the anything-can-happen spirit that made Mystery in Space one of 1964's most entertaining anthology titles.
