PS Artbooks are at last restarting Adventures Into the Unknown, the "original horror comic" in our Softee format, of the seminal 50's title. Just when it got into its stride! With the artistic and storytelling talents of legends such as Ogden Whitney, Harry Lazurus and the great Kurt Schaffenberger they gave us heroes, spacemen, aliens, monsters, ghosts, wizards and witches enough to satisfy all growing ghouls and boys! Collects issues #72-77 (March/April to October 1956).
PS ARTBOOKS STRANGE MYSTERIES SOFTEE #2
FANTASTIC TALES CVR
(A) Ross Andru
Strange Mysteries Softee Volume 2 features the artwork from Fantastic Tales #1 by Carl Burgos as an alternative cover variant; this added bonus issue features glorious horror tales from the fantastic A.C. Hollingsworth, Norman Nodel and HARRY LAZARUS. It's all adds up to an eccentric mix of weird and strange tales from Ross Andru, Jon D'Agostino, Alvin C. Hollingeworth, Joe Orlando, Ed Goldfarb, Tont Tallaico and Joe Kubert. I.W.Publishing became notorious for publishing unauthorized reprints of other company's comics, with new covers and the numbering often misleading, not starting at issue #1 and skipping issue numbers. Collects Strange Mysteries #15-18 (1964) and Fantastic Tales #1 (1958).
