Unusual Tales #23

1960-08-01 · 36 pages

In "The Old Space Ship!", a mundane accountant finds himself whisked away to Planet 23 of Lotan, where he unexpectedly teams up with friendly aliens to fend off a threat from dwarf-like savages. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with striking, surreal visuals by Steve Ditko—both in pencils and inks—this 1960 Charlton tale blends quiet absurdity with interstellar adventure. The cover, also by Ditko, captures the story’s offbeat charm in bold, distinctive lines.
