Tales of the Unexpected #30

On a vivid alien landscape of crimson terrain and rocket fins, a green-skinned extraterrestrial looms menacingly over a space-suited human crouching at the edge of a strange pool — where another figure appears to be submerged beneath the surface. Bob Brown's cover art for this 1958 DC anthology captures that era's irresistible blend of science-fiction dread and pulpy wonder. "The Jinxed Planet" promises exactly the kind of otherworldly peril that made Tales of the Unexpected such a reliable thrill for ten cents.
