Strange Adventures #243

This 1973 DC reprint showcase puts Adam Strange front and center in spectacular fashion — Nick Cardy's cover depicts the jet-packed hero firing a brilliant energy blast as an enormous, ghostly alien creature looms over him in the starfield, its massive clawed hands and gaping beak-like maw filling the cosmos around him. The story inside, "The Emotion-Master of Space!," was crafted by the sharp creative team of writer Gardner Fox and the Carmine Infantino/Murphy Anderson art duo. For fans of silver-age science-fiction adventure, this one delivers exactly what the banner promises.
