Any One Interested in a MYSTERY IN SPACE Collecting Thread?

An appearance near the end of the Space Rangers run, though not in his own title. The Space Ranger bowed out in issue #103 of Mystery in Space, with a cover date of November 1965. Oddly Adam Strange made his last S.A. appearance in issue #102 of Mystery in Space.

The Tornado Tyrant is entirely too smug on this cover.

If I were out on a ledge, about to jump, looking at some Infantino Adam Strange MiS covers would talk me down. Seeing those things always makes me happy.

I always loved Mystery in Space, its one of my favorite titles.

I still need 22 issues to be complete, but the early stuff doesnt turn up that often in the UK.

Another thread I didn't know existed - was just looking through my twenty issue OO run (some water damage, unfortunately) of 53-72 that I hadn't looked at in such a long time.

 

Interesting books to say the least, and it's fascinating to me how they had scientific pages and how they looked at astronomy some five decades ago.

Excellent group shot, which includes #1.

These Mystery in Space comics can certainly brighten one's outlook.

 

I was going to mention how claustrophobic the Tornado Tyrants vehicle was, then

I remembered this issue.

Yeah, a bit of a tight squeeze there!

Here's one I think you'll like, Steve. CGC 8.0 with bone white pages!

 

PS-- Go KINGS!!

Do you mean partial copy, or file copy? I hope it's the latter.

Here are a bunch of MIS books featuring a cover appearance by my favorite planet: The Earth!

My copy is missing the top third of the cover.

Now that's a cool idea for a grouping!

This thread could use a bump so here's my copy of Mystery in Space 42 from March 1958.

 

Any comic that nice from early 1958 gets my seal of approval, and that's a really pretty pink cover too!

Here are scans of four more of my Mystery in Space comics:

 

 

 

 

Space Ranger moves over from Tales of the Unexpected to join Adam Strange in Mystery in Space 92. Unfortunately, that was part and parcel of Julius Schwartz giving up the editorialship of the title which also meant that Carmine Infantino's pencils were being lost for the Adam Strange feature.

 

 

 

Northland copy

Thanks for the nice comment. Both you and "frozentundraguy" have fantastic collections and I enjoy perusing them.

Thanks Steve. You, Hepcat, Doc Joe and others have some really HG beauties of this title.

 

I don't believe I have posted my copy of #89 yet.
