Beginning as a Space anthology title, Mystery in Space became the home of Adam Strange from issue #53. The adventures of Rann's earth- based spaceman continued until #102. Knights of the Galaxy, Bert Brandon (agent for Interplanetary Insurance Inc.), Space Cabbie, Star Rovers and Space Ranger were all regular features in this title. Many of the early issues deal with the then contemporary topic of nuclear power or nuclear safety. Many of the early issues also depicted the other planets in the solar system as being capable of sustaining life, even once portraying the sun as an object that could be walked on.
