Was Monitoring The Publishers By This Time, To Ensure There Was Nothing Deemed Deleterious To The Impressionable American Youth. So Titles Like This Had To Rely More On Suspense, Space Themes, Fantasy, Intrigue, Superstitions, And Paranormal And Supernatural Themes, Rather Than The Gore, Werewolves, Demons And Zombies Of The Pre-Code Period. While Most Such Titles Were Boring Drivel By The Late Fifties, The Issues Like This By The Legendary Masters Of The Art Form, Kirby And Ditko, Have Stood The Test Of Time.THE MARVEL/ATLAS PRE-HERO MONSTER COMICS OF THE EARLY SIXTIES ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED BY NOVICE COLLECTORS, BUT. MANY FROM THIS SENSATIONAL PERIOD HAVE BECOME EXPENSIVE IN RECENT YEARS, AND OTHERS LIKE THIS PROBABLY WON'T REMAIN AFFORDABLE FOR MUCH LONGER, SO DON'T MISS THIS FLEETING OPPORTUNITY. The Monster, Shock, Alien And Supernatural Themes Never Go Out Of Style! This hails from a dark, dry, pet-free, non-smoking, climate-controlled environment. It is an attractive collectable copy, that looks glossy, sharp and bright in the Mylar sleeve.
However, upon closer scrutiny the cover has a tiny edge chip out of the bottom center and some minor spine wear and a tiny spine split at the top tip of the spine plus the requisite subtle bumps, dings, and slight surface creases and edge flaws. The innards are unmolested, no stains, tears, smudges, writing, long creases or other signs of past use except a couple small upper corner creases towards the center, and the pages remain clean and supple and cream to off-white in color. Back cover has some minor discolored spots and soiling, along with slight creasing and spine wear and indentations. Please closely inspect all of the photographs. SCARCE PRE-HERO MARVEL HORROR COMIC!
