Volume 4 -1st printing. "August 1957 to July 1958!" Collects Strange Suspense Stories (1952-1965 Fawcett/Charlton) #33-37.

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).

So don't miss your chance and check out our fourth five-comic volume!
