Strange Adventures #22

From 1952, this DC science-fiction anthology delivers the kind of premise only the early atomic age could conjure. The cover — penciled by Bob Oksner and inked by Bernard Sachs — shows a pair of disembodied, glowing hands reaching through a framed portal, while a chalkboard message pleads for rescue from the Fourth Dimension, as a startled woman and a focused man with laboratory equipment look on in alarm. Teasing the lead story "The Hands from Nowhere," it's a wonderfully eerie snapshot of mid-century sci-fi imagination at its most inventive.
