Adventure Comics #436 (1974) — Weird Adventure Era
 
A striking Bronze Age DC oddity from the Weird Adventure Comics period, featuring a dramatic, horror-tinged science-fiction cover with monstrous tentacles rising from the sea. This issue captures DC’s mid-1970s experimentation with darker, stranger storytelling as classic superhero titles leaned into suspense and cosmic menace.
 
A visually arresting example of the era, blending pulp horror, sci-fi, and superhero sensibilities—perfect for collectors who appreciate DC’s lesser-seen Bronze Age experiments beyond the mainstream capes.
