Tales of the Unexpected #59

A massive, snarling red creature known as the Org looms menacingly over Space Ranger and his green alien companion in this 1961 DC sci-fi adventure. The cover, illustrated by Bob Brown, captures a tense moment of entrapment as the heroes face down the hulking monster in what appears to be a rocky cavern, with dialogue balloons making the danger feel immediate and urgent. Tales of the Unexpected was delivering exactly this kind of imaginative, pulse-quickening science fiction, and issue #59 looks like a fine example of the genre at its most entertaining.
