    Volume 1 -1st printing. "June 1952 to February 1953!" Collects Strange Suspense Stories (1952-1965 Fawcett/Charlton) #1-5.

    Cover by Sheldon Moldoff.

    The still much maligned ranks of SF comicdom are swelled with the welcome and long overdue re-emergence this month of the first volume from PS Publishing of Fawcett Comics' wonderful Strange Suspense Stories. Harking from the very early 1950s, this stuff is priceless, choc-full as it is with work from the likes of Sheldon Moldoff, Bob Powell, Bernard Baily, Mike Sekowsky, George Evans, Lou Cameron, Mo Marcus, Charles Nicholas and Doug Wildey. We're kind of excited already at the prospect of follow-up volumes of Fawcett strangeness.

    Hardcover, 184 pages, full color.

No sir, the yarns to be had in Fawcett's and later Charlton's groundbreaking title set a new standard.

Let's face it, eerie fantasy and weird SF had never been so classy. Hardcover, 252 pages, full color. Cover price $59.99.
