“The Sleep Rain”

Two red-suited astronauts scramble for their lives on an alien world as a fearsome winged dragon-like creature swoops down on them — one explorer fires a weapon at the beast while urging his companion to retreat to the ship. Charlton's Space Adventures #55 (January 1964) promises exactly the pulp-sci-fi thrills its tagline delivers: "They expected to find a paradise… instead they landed on a 'World of Terror.'" Dick Giordano's sharp, kinetic cover art captures that wonderful 1964 sense of outer space as a place of genuine, tooth-and-claw danger.
