Strange Adventures #72

A towering skyscraper crackles with eerie energy at the center of this September 1956 DC thriller, while massive mechanical legs erupt from its base and a military jet streaks past in a desperate attempt to contain the chaos. On the street below, a man and woman scramble in alarm, caught between the stomping metal limbs of a city landmark gone terrifyingly wrong — all brought to life by cover artist Ruben Moreira's vivid, unsettling composition. Featuring the story "The Skyscraper That Came to Life!" plus details on DC's Giant 5000 Prize Contest, this is a fine example of mid-1950s science fiction comics firing on all cylinders.
