The Best Uses of Mother Earth in a Comic Book II

I really love the bizarre covers of the 50's and 60's. This one from 1962 is kind of eerie. An office looks out his window and sees a tower being destroyed. Gasping, he drops the phone. Ok, so a tiny Earth sends a spaceship that is disproportionate in size to destroy skyscrapers on a much larger Earth. Where did they come up with this stuff?

That's right. Screw the Earth! It's overrated anyway.

I actually owned this one when I was a kid. In one story the Phantom Stranger is the wandering Jew, in another he is an angel who would not choose sides when Lucifer rebelled, which led to him being cast down to Earth and getting his wings pulled off.

I love superhero team ups! In this issue, the Harlot of Babylon, Chtullu, and Atlas team up to invade the Earth! While the Dark Tower stands in the left hand corner looking on.

Ok, let me explain this one. There are countless alternate dimensions, and the moon exists in all of them. That is why Superboy is running into himself. Never heard this before? I thought it was common knowledge.

See? Even Jimmy Olsen has met his dopplegangers on the moon. But how can they be walking around with no spacesuit?

Get him Superboy! I don't want to be a slave to some alien named Kossack! If you look closely, you can see Superboy is a Spiderman fan. Spiderman's image is on Superboy's belt.

Apparently, at the same time we were planning on going to the moon, the moon men were planning on coming to Earth. I wonder if they made it?
