Why It Matters

Space Mysteries #1 is a distinctive I.W. reprint package combining a new Carl Burgos cover with scarce Atlas pre-Code science-fiction content. The Russ Heath material and obscure 1950s publishing history give it particular appeal to Golden Age and pre-Code sci-fi collectors.

Collector Notes

This is the 1958 I.W. edition, not the original Atlas printing of the stories. It is a raw, ungraded comic book. The stated 5.0 VG/FN is a visual estimate only. Please inspect all supplied photographs carefully, as they show the actual copy being sold.
