“King Barney the Ape”

This June 1960 DC anthology delivers a striking cover by Bob Brown, depicting a massive, glowering Sun-Creature — a hulking figure of living flame with menacing eyes — bearing down on a young blonde woman in red who scrambles desperately across the ground to escape it. A yellow-suited hero races toward her from the background, his caption making the stakes clear: "Myra, in the path of the Sun-Creature — and I can't reach her in time!" Rounding out the package is a promise of "A New Space Ranger Adventure," making this an appealing slice of early-'60s DC science-fiction thrills at the classic ten-cent price.
