Tales of the Unexpected #65

The cover of this September 1961 DC anthology promises a Space Ranger adventure with "The Alien Brat from Planet Byra!" — and Bob Brown delivers a wonderfully unsettling scene: a yellow-suited Space Ranger crouches defensively before a massive, horned alien beast, its long red claws swiping dangerously close, while a small imp-like figure lingers in the background clutching a stolen weapon belt. The speech bubbles tell the story at a glance — our hero is unarmed and in serious trouble, making this ten-cent issue a genuinely fun slice of early-'60s sci-fi adventure.
