A 1950s-style script with art that tries to offer a 1960s "psychedelic" feel...
...in this never-reprinted tale from Charlton's Space Adventures V2#6 (1969)
Sam Glanzman was an amazingly-versatile artist, whose work in every genre from sci-fi to war to romance to Westerns was usually exemplary.
Whether this was a rush job...or he was experimenting with a new inking style...or he simply had an off-week, it's just not up to his usual high standards.
BTW, you may notice the indicia says "Vol 1 Number 6", but the book is actually from Vol 2 Number 6!
Charlton's first Space Adventures title ran from 1952-56 (1-21), then 1958-64 (23-59) for a total of 58 issues.
(There wasn't a #22 in either part of the run).
(There wasn't a #22 in either part of the run).
This tale was from a 1968-69 revival of the title that lasted only 7 issues.

I've always loved this story by Sam (and probably Joe Gill) but I agree that he probably produced it overnight.

Knuckleheaded me, when I looked again at the first page there was Joe's name with Sam's.
