There's no 'I' in team; but the waterboy doesn't get a ring, so...

This series only ran 25 issues, which I think barely scratched the surface of the available sci-fi stories DC had to reprint. From 1971, From Beyond the Unknown #14, and both the title and the stories should be read in the same tone as "Welcome! To the world of tomorrow!" was in Futurama.

The cover story, "The Human Pet of Gorilla Land!" gets a new cover, by Joe Kubert, but the story is from 1959's Strange Adventures #108, written by John Broome, pencils by Carmine Infantino, inks by Bernard Sachs. Two alien crooks, on the lam from a human space cop, convince another planet of telepathic giant apes that said cop was in fact the season's hottest pet! It takes a while for the cop to get the idea that he wasn't a pet across, possibly by a steadfast refusal to do anything entertaining. This would've been a pretty late gorilla cover from DC; were they out of vogue by 1971? Or did Planet of the Apes help keep them popular longer?

In "The Planet Nobody Wanted!" war had been outlawed on earth, which was now at peace. And overpopulated, so humanity was moving into space and shoving others off of their planets. Great. Sleazy captain Sleamer has found a good one, but the locals seem all-too-willing to let him have it. That doesn't stop him from trying to take it for himself; it goes about as well for him as you'd expect. (From 1953's Mystery In Space #13, written by Gardner Fox, art by Murphy Anderson and Sy Barry.)

"Raiders of the Waterless World!" is a bit of fun: during a space war, a gung-ho young pilot is relegated to cargo duty, lugging water to a garrison on a dry planet. But, when the planet is blockaded by the aliens, he decides he has to press on rather than let them die of thirst, but the only weapon he has is water...The pilot proves his mettle, but while he's rewarded in the end, they didn't exactly go all-out for him, either. (From 1959's Mystery in Space #59, written by John Broome, art by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson. Which reminds me, I haven't started that Adam Strange Showcase yet...)

"Secret of the Dinosaur Skeleton!" was the cover story of 1962's Strange Adventures #138: the criminal Kandar, in suspended animation for 150 million years, is discovered, and starts using his mental powers to animate a brontosaurus skeleton to get ancient superweapons and take over the world. Luckily, his adversary Queen Oarda had also been in suspended animation, and tries to stop him. (Written by Gardner Fox, pencils by Gil Kane, inks by Joe Giella.)

Finally, in "I Delivered Mail From Mars!" a mailman realizes he's been delivering letters to a Martian, who was on self-imposed exile after being accused of art theft. When he receives word that his name had been cleared, he could return home, if he could only come up with the cash to buy some radium for his ship. But, his art won't sell, and he couldn't reveal himself as a Martian, even though the mailman found him out...luckily, the mailman had a stamp collector on his route, who coughs up for the Martian stamps! Silly. I did like the panel where the mailman apparently knows the street value of radium, off the top of his head. (From 1954's Strange Adventures #42, written by Otto Binder, pencils by Mort Drucker, inks by Joe Giella.)
