Mystery in Space

    (DC, 1951-1966, 1980-1981, 2020)
™ and ©1965 DC Comics, Inc.

Each issue of this series featured adventures in outer space, many with a twist ending. In one story, a human explorer finds aliens dividing up the planets of the solar system in a game. But when he thwarts them, he finds out they have all bluffed each other.

The series’ most popular feature was the adventures of space ranger Adam Strange. One of the original space heroes, Strange starred in this series for a good part of its run, and even teamed up with Hawkman for a time in order to restore order on his adopted planet, Rann.
