DC debuts another science fiction comic to go along with Strange Adventures: Mystery in Space #1 (February 1951)! Mystery in Space will run for fifteen years straight. This first run features the “Knights of the Galaxy” as well as anthology tales. Many years later, Mystery in Space will feature the popular Adam Strange. The trend towards science fiction in comic books was a major part of the Silver Age revival in comic books.
