Strange Adventures #193

Strange Adventures #193 delivers two promised thrills right on the cover — "The Villain-Maker!" and "Zomzu the Cave Colossus!" — making this 1966 DC anthology a genuinely fun double-feature package. Bernard Baily's cover art sets an unsettling scene: a hulking green reptilian monster looms over a man who appears to be dissolving or transforming in a burst of energy and smoke, while alarmed bystanders in the background react in horror, one crying out that it's "not our movie monster." The whole image has that irresistible mid-sixties sci-fi unease, with writer Dave Wood and artist Lee Elias handling the interior "Villain-Maker" story inside.
