“The Melting Planet”

A spaceman in a green suit and yellow helmet clings desperately to the edge of a gravitational whirlpool, spiraling helplessly toward a haunting graveyard of colorful wrecked spacecraft scattered across an alien landscape below — a genuinely striking image from DC's science-fiction anthology in 1958. The cover blurb promises "The Planet of Lost Space Ships," and Bob Brown's cover art delivers an immediate sense of cosmic dread and wonder in equal measure. This issue also features "The Melting Planet," with interior art by Bernard Baily, making it a fine snapshot of the era's imaginative sci-fi storytelling.
