Mystery in Space #97

February 1965's Mystery in Space #97 promises both a new Space Ranger adventure and the Adam Strange tale teased by its striking Lee Elias cover — where a red-suited, blonde hero collapses atop a strange green-sanded world beneath an eerie green sun, desperately crying out that the Zeta-Beam has stranded him somewhere unknown. A three-panel strip below drives the dread home, showing him sinking helplessly into the alien terrain, thinking "Being drawn… down to my… doom!" Inside, Dave Wood and Howard Purcell deliver "The Secret of the Jinxed Moon," rounding out a solid issue for fans of DC's Silver Age sci-fi.
