They've discovered an uninhabited alien city, operational technology run by an unseen intelligence, and a flying saucer in the space of just six pages in this tale from Treasure Chest V14N13 (1959)

Kids back then must've been made of sterner stuff than today's coddled tweens!
We'll see what happens when they board the flying saucer two weeks from now!
