Unusual Tales - Repair Stop



"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.

"Repair Stop" is a 4-page story from Charlton's OUTER SPACE #18 [1958].

Most visually interesting thing in this one is probably the space-ship.  I'm not sure if that's supposed to be an exaggerated foreshortening effect to emphasize the size of the space-ship or just an odd shape.  Certainly is memorable.  The aliens are pretty much your 1950s Ditko default aliens.
