Space Family Robinson #13
In "The Pit of Doom," the Space Family Robinson—Rex and Scotty—stranded on a planet dominated by endless water, stumble upon a long-forgotten civilization that retreated beneath the surface. Forced underground by a sudden quake, they ride a monorail into the unknown, only to fall into a hidden cavern where they discover a serene garden and a mysterious hermit who offers unexpected refuge. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Dan Spiegle, with a cover by George Wilson, this 1965 Western Comics gem blends sci-fi wonder with quiet mystery in a story that’s as much about discovery as it is about survival.
