This unusual panel could be from an episode of “Flash Gordon” or some other science fiction setting, but it’s a Wally Wood panel from Frontline Combat #7 (EC Comcis, 1952, reprinted by Gemstone) in a story on Iwo Jimo. Not only is the landscape lushly drawn in an almost alien way, but the use of blue, purple, and yellow creates a high contrast deep space. The viewer seems to sit in the shadows of purple and black, while in the distance, past the rocks, is a bright yellow future. The reference to Wuthering Heights is reinforced by the darkness of the purple and the almost grey of the blue.
