Strange Adventures #59

A sleek red spacecraft hovers overhead as Earth's animals — giraffes, zebras, tigers, elephants, and more — parade toward it in this wonderfully imaginative 1955 DC sci-fi anthology. A bewildered man in the foreground watches the procession, the cover's caption asking the perfectly tantalizing question: "Why can't they take humans aboard that space-ark too?" Gil Kane's pencils and Bernard Sachs's inks give the scene a vivid, wide-eyed sense of wonder that perfectly captures the spirit of John Broome's storytelling era.
