Strange Adventures #124

Strange Adventures #124 brings classic DC science-fiction unease with Murphy Anderson's striking cover depicting a towering, faceless alien from Saturn looming over two helpless humans in military-style clothing, its clawed hands crackling with shock rays that prevent them from firing their weapons. The sight of that smooth, featureless head atop such an imposing golden figure captures exactly the kind of unsettling extraterrestrial menace that made these early-1960s anthology titles so compelling. For ten cents in 1961, "The Face-Hunter from Saturn!" promises the sort of imaginative cosmic encounter that DC did so well during this era of wonder.
