American Comics Update: Six Of The Best: Early Adam Strange in Mystery In Space
*DC: One of the most well-received articles posted here during lockdown was the one I wrote on Adam Strange, the interplanetary adventurer, my favourite DC science-fiction hero. So, we’re delighted to present half a dozen of his earliest adventures in Mystery In Space, starting with #54 (his second appearance in title) and running patchily up to #61. The finest examples of this sort of thing ever produced, IMHO, and with the best creators. These are mostly lower graded reading copies, providing excellent budget entertainment.
