What better way to start off sci fi month than with this wraparound cover by
Murphy Anderson to
Mysteries In Space: The Best Of DC Science Fiction Comics, a Fireside book that was released in 1980, celebrating DC's science fiction titles, with a foreword and edited by
Michael Uslan, featuring
Mystery In Space's Adam Strange and Alanna fighting
Strange Adventures' Flying Gorilla Meance...
...though these stories didn't appear within this tome.
A shame, but here's what did....
The collection has many generic sci-fi stories, from Mystery In Space (#1, #8, #11, #19, #28, #35, #49, #61), Strange Adventures (#36, #134) Tales Of The Unexpected (#84)...
...as well as tales of the
Martian Manhunter from Detective Comics #225,
Captain Comet from Strange Adventures #22, Strange Sports Stories from Brave and the Bold #47, Space Museum from Strange Adventures #112, Space Cabby from Mystery In Space #42, Star Hawkins from Strange Adventures #125,
Tommy Tomorrow from Real Fact Comics #6 and Action Comics #205, the
Atomic Knights from Strange Adventures #117, Star Rovers from Mystery In Space #74...
...Space Ranger from Showcase #15, and Adam Strange from Showcase #17 and Mystery In Space #75 (with
Kanjar Ro and the JLA!), though most of these features didn't end up on the covers of the issues presented in this book, and all of which suggests more to be covered in the future!
