PRE CODE CLASSICS DARK MYSTERIES SLIPCASE ED (2025)

"Synopsis: MASTER COMICS - DARK MYSTERIES VOL 1: ISSUE 1 - 6 June/July 1951 to April/May 1951 Special Notes: How can you go wrong when the first comic of a 24-book series kicks off with an eight-pager from Wallace Wood ('The Curse of the Sea Witch')?! I mean, come on, guys. Okay, so the work in these books (the first six of which are included in this first volume), is not gonna get a Pulitzer but, heck, that's more a reflection on the judges than the material. And that's only for starters. Elsewhere there are tales from Joe Orlando, Walter Johnson, Ed Goldfarb, A.C. Hollingsworth, Bill Fraccio, Lou Cameron, John D'Agostino, Tony Tallarico, Harry Harrison and Hy Fleishman and a whole host of other wacked-out-of-their-gourd luminaries. So put down that essay, Junior and flash back to when comics were . . . Well, comics, fer cryin' out loud. Go get it, kids."

"You could be forgiven for thinking, hey, they must have run out, right? They must have exhausted all the good stuff by now with the ACG titles pretty near-on gone, along with PLANET, JET POWER, all the HARVEY titles, Tom Corbet, THE HEAP, RULAH, STRANGE SUSPENSE and who knows what else. Yeah, you'da thunk it, OK, with around 150 volumes over the past few years but, hey, go eat yer socks, Daphne-check this out! A second collection featuring issues 7 through 12 of DARK MYSTERIES boasting-heck, downright totally tub-thumping (and you know ya can't blame 'em!)--boasting yarns from Joe Or
lando, Walter Johnson, Ed Goldfarb, A.C. Hollingsworth, Bill Fraccio, Lou Cameron, John D'Agostino, Tony Tallarico, Harry Harrison and Hy Fleishman and a whole host of other wacked-out-of-their-gourd luminaries. So put down that essay, Junior and flash back to when comics were. Ya akst us for more and we done given it to ya."

"Synopsis: MASTER COMICS - DARK MYSTERIES VOL 3: ISSUE 13 - 18 August 1953 to June 1954 Two names on this book say it all: Joe Orlando and Wallace Wood. If you don't know why that should mean something, then you're in the wrong alternative universe, George. Go put it right, pronto."
