I continue my love affair with the covers of All-Star Adventure Comic this week with issue 29, circa 1964. This one features a phenomenal cover reprint from Strange Adventure #163 by Murphy Anderson. A bit of research revealed this title as being an Australian book reprinting DC Comics stories. A lot of stories. This particular issue contained 13 different stories totalling 96 pages!

Based on the little information that I've found, 1962's All-Star Adventure Comic #13 is a cover reprint of Strange Adventures #133. And what a cover it is. Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson tell the tale of "The Invisible Dinosaur"! And the invisible dinosaur casts a shadow! Looking at the rest of the covers for this series makes me wish DC would collect these into a nice hardcover. What imagination!
