"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
Science fiction adventure in the far off future this time, though oddly on the first page they're writing a report on what appears to be a manual typewriter. Anyway, when the reports coming from an explorer sent to a new planet found beyond Saturn don't add up, Dr. Kyle Duran and his assistant Verna go out themselves to investigate. Ditko seemed to do a bunch of these one-shot space adventure stories that seemed to be setting up "Buck Rogers" style adventurers that never continued beyond the first story, as far as I know. Some good artwork in here in a classic sci-fi mode.
