Originally priced at $0.12, \u003cb\u003eMystery in Space, Vol. 1 #77\u003c\/b\u003e centers on Adam Strange in the lead story \"Ray-Gun in the Sky!\", featuring Carmine Infantino pencils and Murphy Anderson inks. A companion Star Ropers backup story, titled \"Where was I born--Venus? Mars? Jupiter?\", completes the contents with distinct artwork by Sid Greene. Infantino and Anderson also share cover duties, establishing the visual framework for early DC space-opera storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeasured solidly in the Good (4.0) condition range, this copy reflects the expected aging profile of a sixty-two-year-old publication. Inside, the paper carries a consistent cream to tan hue typical of mid-century newsprint. Exterior wear presents as moderate handling marks, multiple color-breaking stress lines running vertically along the spine, and blunted corners with localized color abrasion. The bottom-left corner exhibits the heaviest surface impact, displaying visible creasing and point loss. Structural integrity remains sound; staples show aging discoloration on the centerfold, and the rear cover carries faint edge tidelines. All dialogue and imagery retain full readability despite the grade.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor archivists and genre collectors building themed runs around early cosmic adventures or Infantino’s pre-Superman work, this issue delivers complete narrative flow at an accessible acquisition tier. It slots neatly into archival projects tracking DC’s 1960s publishing shift without requiring premium investment capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ugly Monkey Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729270112534,"sku":"UG-5622-MYS-UGL-DEF","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/4301\/3142\/files\/AFE70648-E78E-4542-B98A-ECEE9254D688.jpg?v=1787020051","url":"https:\/\/uglymonkeycomics.com\/products\/mystery-in-space-vol-1-77-dc-comics-1962","provider":"Ugly Monkey Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
