Silver Age Classics: Tales of the Mysterious Traveler HC (2018 PS Artbooks) Limited Slipcase Edition comic books 2019

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "December 1957 to November 1958!" Collects Tales of the Mysterious Traveler (1956-1959) #6-10.

Let's face it, the TRAVELER and Ditko are firm favourites in the offices of PS so what we said before about volume 1-is gonna be hard to beat. Courtesy of the Traveler's creator, Steve Ditko, this title beats pretty much everything else on the old creaking metal comicbook spinners, way back then-these comics appeared from Charlton in 1957/8-and now. What it may have lacked in the comicbook equivalent of $100M SFX budgets, the Mysterious Traveler made up for it with sheer class, style and out 'n out pizzazz and charm. A clear inspiration to Marvel's hugely popular AMAZING ADULT FANTASY, the Traveler is surely the original 'adult' comic and the one that's certainly-with these sumptuous hardcover four-colour volumes-held its quality and is worth its weight in gold.

Aside from Ditko, artists include Maurice Whitman, Bill Molno, Rocco Mastroserio, Paul Reinman and Charles Nicholas.

Hardcover (with Slipcase), 184 pages, full color.

Cover price $54.99.
