Monday Madness FLYING SAUCERS "Far Out Physical"

To wind up this month of flying saucer fun...
...here's a long-unseen tale with a decidedly-different approach to the aliens!
You'll note that the aliens' world balloons are left blank!
Editor Don (D J) Arneson wrote all the stories in the four-issue run of Dell's Flying Saucers, also making sure the various artists presented a fairly-consistent "look" to the aliens.
(Note: the series ran five issues, but the fifth was a reprint of #1)
In the case of this tale from #1 (1967), Sam Glanzman brought his realistic, natural style to a story using many of the already-established elements of UFO lore.
Trivia: Both Dell and Gold Key produced anthology comics about alien visitors and their kitchenware-shaped vessels during this period.
Gold Key's UFO: Flying Saucers ran for twenty five issues, changing to UFO and Outer Space as of #14!
