Strange Adventures #188

From DC's anthology of "Three Fantastic, Weird Thrillers," this May 1966 issue of Strange Adventures delivers a genuinely unsettling cover by Jack Sparling: a costumed figure crouches on rocky ground, spraying something at a glowing egg-like object, while a massive green monster materializes from a billowing pink cloud — with a desperate bystander shouting "Stop spraying, you fool!" The tagline "Don't Bring That Monster to Life!" makes it clear that someone is making a terrible mistake in real time. Inside, Sparling also handles art duties on the lead story, "I Was the Four Seasons," written by Dave Wood, promising the kind of imaginative, offbeat sci-fi that made Strange Adventures a reliable thrill at twelve cents.
