Volume 1 - 1st printing. "August 1956 to January 1957!" Collects Tales of the Mysterious Traveler (1956-1959) #1-5.

Courtesy of the Traveler's creator, Steve Ditko, this title beat pretty much everything else on the creaking metal comic book spinners.

A clear inspiration to the hugely popular Amazing Adult Fantasy, the Mysterious Traveler is surely the original "adult" comic and the one that's still, with these sumptuous hardcover four-color volumes, worth a deep read.

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.
