Rip Hunter... Time Master #24

DC's time-traveling adventurer takes center stage in this 1965 installment of Rip Hunter... Time Master, subtitled "Rip Hunter's Royal Wedding." Bill Ely's cover drops Rip and a dark-haired female companion into what appears to be a Tudor-era royal court, where the two are locked in a brawl against period-costumed guards while a regal noblewoman in a white gown looks on — her speech bubble threatening that Rip's companion will rot in London Tower. It's a vivid snapshot of the era's adventure comics at their most entertaining, blending historical intrigue with no-holds-barred action.
