Charlton Comics' Strange Suspense Stories boasted a host of talents: Bill Molno, Sal Trapani, Don Perlin, Bill Fraccio, Maurice Whitman, Charles Nicholas, Richard Doxsee and Gene Colan among many. The real jewel was Steve Ditko whose moody, individualistic touch came to dominate Charlton's supernatural titles and, of course, led to deserved fame over at Marvel and with a kid called Parker. But before that, Charlton's shining light was nowhere near as bright as in the run of Strange Suspense Stories, issues 33 through 37 (August 1957 to July 1958).

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. What it may have lacked in the comicbook equivalent of $100M FX budgets, the Mysterious Traveler made up for it with sheer class, style and out 'n out pizzazz and charm. 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.

Featuring work by Dick Giordano, Charles Nicholas, Steve Ditko, Tony Tallarico, Bill Molno, Howard Boughner, Maurice Whitman, Rocco Mastroserio and Paul Reinman.

Hardcover, 184 pages, full color.

Cover price $44.99.

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.
