Strange Adventures #37

From October 1953 comes this thrilling DC science-fiction adventure, with Murphy Anderson's cover depicting Captain Comet in his red costume reacting with alarm as tiny alien invaders — armed and threatening — emerge from a glowing device, while a woman stands anxiously nearby. The cover's bold caption makes the stakes unmistakably clear: only Captain Comet could stop the invasion from the Golden Atom, and now he's powerless. A fine snapshot of early-'50s DC sci-fi storytelling, with John Broome writing and Murphy Anderson handling both pencils and inks throughout.
