PRE CODE CLASSICS ADVENTURES INTO DARKNESS HC #1
(W) Various (A) John Celardo (CA) Na
The covers alone are worth the price of admission - Alex Toth, Jerry Grandenetti, plus, for fans of DC's My Greatest Adventure, Ruben Moreira - comics just don't come no better than this, folks. Standard Comics did not believe in #1 issues. They were convinced that comics sold better if they appeared to have been around for a while, and therefore they started all their horror titles with #5, each lasting about ten issues of fairly well-done E.C. imitations. Collects issues #5-9 (August 1952 to April 1953).
SILVER AGE CLASSICS OUT OF THIS WORLD HC #1
(W) Various (A) Vince Alascia (CA) Na
Back in the post-EC days of the mid-to-late 1950's and early '60's, there was really only one place to go for your sci-fi fix when you'd exhausted DC's output for that month - Out of this World, which would, of course, become synonymous with the work of Steve Ditko. And now this first volume in PS's Silver Age Classics sets out to reprint the whole run the way it should be done. Just take a look at those covers, comic book fans! Collects issues #1-6 (August 1956 to November 1957).
