Strange Adventures #220

From DC's long-running anthology series comes this October 1969 Adam Strange adventure, featuring a cover by Joe Kubert that crackles with sci-fi energy. A colossal, fanged alien creature — its red eyes blazing — looms over the scene as a blue-and-white costumed figure fires a ray gun directly at the beast while a red-clad hero scrambles in the foreground, caught in the creature's coiling mass. With a story by Gardner Fox and interior art by Carmine Infantino and Bernard Sachs, "The Beast from the Runaway World!" promises exactly the kind of interplanetary thrills that made Strange Adventures a beloved corner of the DC universe in 1969.
