Tales of the Unexpected #64

Tales of the Unexpected #64 brings one of DC's most imaginative anthology titles to vivid life with a cover by Bob Brown depicting a human man in a blue suit trapped and urgently calling out — a ticking can threatens destruction in thirty seconds while towering green alien figures, identified on the cover as Nranians, loom all around him, one holding a small flaming object. The lead story, "The Boy Usurper of Planet Zonn," written and drawn by Bob Brown, promises exactly the kind of wild, otherworldly adventure the series delivered so reliably in 1961. If science-fiction thrills set against alien worlds and impossible odds are your thing, this ten-cent issue is a fine place to land.
