Volume 9 - 1st printing. "Wolverton!" Basil Wolverton (July 9, 1909 - December 31, 1978) born in Central Point, Oregon and later moved to Vancouver, Washington. He worked as a vaudeville performer and a cartoonist and reporter for the Portland News. Wolverton was a master in caricaturing the human face and body and his drawings have elicited a wide range of reactions - he even described himself as a "Producer of Preposterous Pictures of peculiar People who Prowl this Perplexing Planet." Preferring to work with pen and ink, Wolverton's lack of artistic schooling gave his drawings an otherworldly appearance. There was no other artist at the time who drew like him! This volume collects Wolverton stories from Spacehawk #17-34 (January 1941-December 1942), Amazing Man Comics featuring Meteor Martin #26-26 (December 1941-January 1942), Weird Mysteries #2 and #5 (June and December 1953), and Weird Tales of the Future #4-7 (November 1952-May 1953).
