Strange Adventures #42
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeStrange Adventures #42 brings DC's "Gateway to Other Worlds" promise to vivid life in this March 1954 issue, with a cover by Murphy Anderson that drops Captain Comet right into a backyard adventure — a girl in distress crying out for his help near a "Captain Comet Club House" and a "Blast-Off Station," while a small barking creature adds to the chaos. The lead story, "The Planet of Ancient Children!," hints at a charmingly eerie science-fiction premise that takes an ordinary game and steers it somewhere genuinely unsettling. At just ten cents, this issue showcases the imaginative storytelling of writer Otto Binder and artist Mort Drucker, inked by Joe Giella, at the height of DC's golden age of sci-fi anthology comics.
