Volume 1 - 1st printing. "September/October 1951 to October/November 1952!" Collects Weird Adventures (1951 Ziff Davis) #10 and Weird Thrillers (1951) #1-5.

Sporting what must surely be one of the finest (albeit short) runs of painted covers, Ziff Davis's Weird Thrillers and the one-shot (numbered 10, go figure) Weird Adventures remain among the field's most overlooked entries. Following on from their hugely popular Harvey Horrors line, those lovable scamps at PS have added this wonderful and complete volume that - with the likes of Frank Giacola, Ross Andru, Sy Barry, Howard Nostrand, George Tuska, Alex Toth, Murphy Anderson and others - will have any self-respecting fan drooling.
