Challengers of the Unknown #11, dated December 1959-January 1960, on sale October 1959 Art by Bob Brown with colors and washtones by Jack Adler:  {Spoiler}I haven't been able to participate lately because my secret personal classic comics cover challenge had exhausted all but two of my roster, and neither of those two features had any covers that qualified for the topic.
This time around, they still didn't qualify (one came close but missed the December 1959 time limit by several months). So I did something I've been thinking of doing--expanded my roster once again. It will all make sense when I finish, and explain the criteria, which are still very restrictive, but has some margin for loosening which I took advantage of.
The bottom line is, last time I entered, I was down to two remaining entries, and now, after this expansion, I have instead four remaining entries. That is, I added three to the roster and subtracted one, the Challengers of the Unknown. But now, there is no more room for expansion. I've adjusted the criteria to their limit, so I'll be at this game every week until I can use up the four remaining comic book features in this contest.

Cool covers everyone. I expected more Marvel monster comics, so these are a pleasant surprise.

How can there be any escape when you're. . .locked in! Not exactly what I meant by Escapism.  |

Not exactly what I meant by Escapism. Oh, I know what you meant; I just liked the word play.  |

Space Detective #1, July 1951  See, the two of them escape from their everyday lives by becoming space adventurers. So - escapism. Eh. I tried.

How about a monster, a space ship AND a cowboy What an unlikely combo... Sci Fi and westerns! Well, Star Trek was pitched as Wagon Train in space, and Firefly was essentially a space western, so it's a combo (or mash up) that people go to fairly often. -M |
