Cover by Sheldon Moldoff.

The still much maligned ranks of SF comicdom are swelled with the welcome and long overdue re-emergence this month of the first volume from PS Publishing of Fawcett Comics' wonderful Strange Suspense Stories. Harking from the very early 1950s, this stuff is priceless, choc-full as it is with work from the likes of Sheldon Moldoff, Bob Powell, Bernard Baily, Mike Sekowsky, George Evans, Lou Cameron, Mo Marcus, Charles Nicholas and Doug Wildey. We're kind of excited already at the prospect of follow-up volumes of Fawcett strangeness.

Volume 2 -1st printing. "Feb. 1955 to Aug. 1955!" Collects This is Suspense (1955) #23-26.

Charlton Comics fared poorly when measured against the big guns of DC and Marvel, and that's a shame because they had lots to offer! Check out this five-comic volume featuring This Is Suspense #23-26 (Feb. 1955 to Aug. 1955) and the slightly renamed pre-Ditko Strange Suspense Stories, picking up the numbering with #27 in October of 1955. Say what you will (and we know you will!), Charlton had lots to offer, with much of it being fairly serious and semi-adult, with a contributor line-up that boasted Ted Galindo, Dick Giordano, Wally Wood, George Evans, Lou Morales, Pete Morisi, Vic Martin, Marc Swayze, Don Heck, Bill Molno, Sid Check and Stan Campbell. Buy it and show off to lesser mortals!

Cover by Myron Fass.

Toby Press was a small but respectable comics publisher, which also used the imprint Minoan; they put out one issue of Tales of Terror, then got hit by a cease-and-desist order from E.C., which used that title for their annuals. Toby dropped that and started over with Tales of Horror, which ran thirteen issues. Toby may be the only comics publisher to swipe the urbane and cynical stories of John Collier, rather than relying on Poe, Lovecraft, and the like.

Featuring Stories by Myron Fass, Bill Molno, Pete Morisi, Ed Smalle, Lawrence Dresser, Max Elkan, Art Helfant, Ernie Schroeder and Bernard Baily.

Small is beautiful and don't let anyone tell you different. Case in point, Toby Press, which also used the imprint Minoan and found fame (of a sort) by getting their knuckles rapped by the EC crew for using Gaines & Co.'s title "Tales of Terror." But they didn't need to pilfer from others with Tales of Horror, the (retitled) magazine's noteworthy homage to the likes of prose stylist John Collier. So take a bow guys, we're in the presence of greatness. Let's all doff our beanies to Moe Marcus, Ben Brown, Bernard Baily, Frank Giacoia, Rocco Mastroserio, Jack Sparling, Mel Keefer, Howard Rosenberger, Bill Molno and George Olesen, heroes one and all.
