Strange Worlds #5 – I.W. Pre-Code Sci-Fi Reprint – 4.0 VG

A scarce 1958 I.W. Publishing / Super Comics science-fiction anthology reprinting material from Avon’s Strange Worlds #9 (1952).

The issue includes classic pre-Code science-fiction stories such as “Radium Monsters”, “Ransom—One Million Decimars”, “World of the Monster Brain” and “Mystery of Asteroid 9”. Grand Comics Database tentatively attributes the cover pencils to Carl Burgos and inks to Mike Esposito, so those credits are presented as attributions rather than certainties.

Why It Matters
