Space Adventures #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1953 Charlton gem puts flying saucer fever front and center, with a sleek, disc-shaped craft bearing military markings banking dramatically through billowing clouds while a circular inset panel shows two aviators in flight gear reacting with urgent excitement — one calling out, "Colonel, the static is clearing! I see the saucer!" The cover by Stan Campbell captures that perfect early-'50s blend of military tension and otherworldly wonder, teasing the story "Two Worlds" about humanity's first contact with a flying saucer. A wonderfully atmospheric snapshot of the era's fascination with the skies above.
