Weird Science #12
In "A Gobl is a Knog's Best Friend," the crew of the Polaris-B drift through space toward the second planet of Polaris, where zero gravity is the least of their concerns—especially when Captain Dexter is driven mad by the incessant barking of Hawkins’ mysterious alien pet. Written by Al Feldstein and brought to life with sharp, surreal flair by Wally Wood on pencils and inks, with vibrant colors by Marie Severin and crisp lettering by Jim Wroten, this 1995 Gemstone issue introduces a bizarre cosmic twist on companionship, all under a cover by Wally Wood that perfectly captures the story’s offbeat tone.
