"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
"The Enchanted Planet" is a 6-page story from Charlton's SPACE ADVENTURES #31 [1959]. Gorgeous artwork in this science fiction tale, some of Ditko's best of the 1950s, very detailed and imaginative. It features Bruce Colston, son of a rich businessman in the 26th century, who is completely lacking in drive and ambition until he happens upon a damsel in distress on an exotic alien planet. The action scenes in this story are especially nice, very much pointing the way to the type of thing that would be a Ditko staple in just a few more years.
