Strange Adventures ran for 244 issues and was DC Comics' first science fiction title, beginning with an adaptation of the film Destination Moon. The sales success of the gorilla cover story in Strange Adventures #8 lead DC to produce numerous comic books featuring gorilla on the covers. Issue #9 features the origin and first appearance of Captain Comet, with cover by Carmine Infantino, and art by Infantino and Gil Kane. Classic Golden Age sci-fi!
