Tales of the Unexpected #68

From DC's beloved anthology series comes this 1961 gem featuring Space Ranger face-to-face with a towering, menacing robot on an alien world of jagged peaks and purple terrain. Bob Brown's cover captures the tension vividly — the giant mechanical captor looms over a yellow-suited Space Ranger while a figure is blasted aside, with speech bubbles proclaiming the robot's mission to capture our hero on behalf of its unseen alien master. It's a wonderfully evocative slice of early-'60s science fiction adventure, with Dave Wood's writing and Howard Purcell's interior art bringing the story of "The Braggart from Planet Brax" to life within.
