Mystery in Space #26
“Earth Is the Target!”
In "Earth Is the Target!", a surreal circus parade unfolds under a sky tinged with unease, as two enormous elephants march through the streets carrying a colossal Tootsie Roll—drawing the wide-eyed attention of children munching on candy nearby. The story, illustrated with crisp, dynamic energy by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs on the cover, blends whimsy and mystery in a 1955 DC tale that stands out for its playful yet peculiar tone.
