Strange Adventures #27
In "The Counterfeit Captain Comet!", a baffling mystery unfolds when George Mitchell finds his novel eerily identical to a long-lost book written over a century earlier—without ever having read it. Written by Jack Miller and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Gil Kane and Joe Giella, this 1952 Strange Adventures tale dives into a mind-bending enigma that challenges the very idea of authorship and time. The cover by Murphy Anderson captures the story’s eerie intrigue with a striking, shadowed image of Captain Comet.
