Rip Hunter... Time Master #3

From DC's time-traveling adventure series comes this 1961 issue featuring a thrilling three-part novel, "The Throne of Doom." The cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito puts the danger front and center: a massive green tentacled alien creature wraps its coiling limbs around a man in a purple robe and red cape, while alarmed companions look on against a stone castle backdrop — a speech bubble warning that "Corky" has been exposed as an impostor and the real king has sicced this fantastic beast on him. Jack Miller's writing and Andru's energetic linework made Rip Hunter… Time Master one of DC's most inventive series of its era, and this cover promises exactly the kind of high-stakes, otherworldly trouble that kept readers coming back for more.
