Issue count: 117
A respectable sci-fi book in it's own right, DC's Mystery In Space, with issue #53, became the permanent home for the great space-hero ADAM STRANGE! Check Quality Comix's online price guide for current going rates!
A rare science fiction title from DC!
Again, in the 50's, they had a stable of talent that could deliver a high-quality comic book!
Carmine Infantino, Harry Boltinoff, Mort Drucker, Irwin Hasen... the list goes on! Even Frank Frazetta contributed a story to issue #1; that in itself makes that issue particularly scouted for!
