Unusual Tales - Mystery From Mars
"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
From Charlton's STRANGE SUSPENSE STORIES #39 [1958] comes the 5-page "Mystery From Mars".
A nice goofy story about a funny looking Martian brought to Earth by an unmanned rocket. Ditko's take on the alien is great, and he sells the twist at the end nicely.
Some links to check out:

Lots of 1950s public domain reprints from various publishers out there, none with this story yet

scans in this series generally adapted to my personal tastes from those copies
