DC FACSIMILE EDITION - MYSTERY IN SPACE #75...


Copyright DC COMICS

Here's a nice facsimile issue worth having - MYSTERY IN SPACE #75.  An interesting tale, despite a needless bit of convoluted continuity-jumping that could've been bypassed by a couple of speech balloons being dialogued differently.

In case you're wondering, The FLASH (says a footnote) proposed that ADAM STRANGE be allowed to join The JUSTICE LEAGUE Of AMERICA in an earlier issue of JLA (#4), but that this current story (MIS #75) takes place before that ish.  There's absolutely no need for this continuity blip that I can see, so who knows what writer GARDNER FOX was thinking when he concocted this caper.

Anyway, the reproduction of the main tale is top-notch, having been reprinted before for other presentations from newly-coloured sources (in accordance with the original colour palette), but the ads and filler pages are scanned from a 1961 published issue and aren't quite as bright and clear as the story pages.

That said, it perfectly captures the feel of the period and would make a worthwhile addition to your collection, so track one down right away.  (It also contains a missive from PAUL GAMBACCINI in the letters page.)
