PRE CODE CLASSICS BAFFLING MYSTERIES SLIPCASE ED (2025)

"The only thing baffling thing about this is why we didn't bring it out sooner! Mike Sekowsky, Maurice Gutwirth, George Appel, Gene Colan, Jim McLaughlin, Ace Baker, Lou Cameron, Bill Molno, Chic Stone and all of 'em from the frightful freakin' fab'n' fantastic fifties! Hey, throw another log on the fire and let's get down to business! Collects Baffling Mysteries #5-9 (November 1951 to July 1952)."

"The only bafflement on this baby is why we waited so long to get it out there amongst you quality-vultures! Gene Colan (later to find fame on Marvel's Tomb of Dracula) and Mike Sekowsky who cut his teeth on DC's Justice League of you-know-where lead the way for five fun-and fear-filled comic books from the magical times when comics wuz comics. Read 'em and shake your head in pure love and astonishment. Collects Baffling Mysteries #10-14 (September 1952 to March 1953)."

"Here's another far-out fantastical freak-fest from Ace Magazines with a pedigree and a half with the likes of these folks gracing the five comics' contents pages: Jim McLaughlin, Charles Nicholas, Lin Streeter, Louis Zansky, Ken Rice, Lou Cameron, Dick Beck, Al Hartley, Sy Grudko, and Ace Baker. Yessir, 1953/4 was one heck of a mighty fine period. Collects Baffling Mysteries #15-19 (May 1953 to January 1954)."
