Prior to Marvel's Spider-Man, Steve Ditko was known for his science-fiction work. Here he provides a cover for Charlton's SPACE ADVENTURES #12, the second time around for this series. Only two of the five stories actually deal with outer space, the rest are earthbound adventures, which is perhaps why the cover title was changed to SCIENCE FICTION SPACE ADVENTURES.
