Owner's Description

"The Mirages from Space!" What an odd cover - I don't think I've seen the pastel colors used on any other issue of Strange Adventures, and while it isn't unusual to have a western motif - it being the fifties and all - the difference between how the cowhand is drawn in the foreground and how the mirage is drawn in the background is jarring. Personally, I can't make up my mind if I love it or not - but I certainly don't loathe it. The cover isn't all cluttered up with words, the cowhand does look a bit baffled by the mirage, and the lone, midget saguaro in the corner of the frame echoes the shapes of the alien city in the background. I think, for me anyway, that the only really distracting part of the image is the big, curved, yellow band coming in from space - I wonder what the image would have looked like without it.
All in all - a book I am pleased to have as part of my set, even if it did grade a little lower than I had anticipated.
