*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: While Avon’s Strange Worlds is well-remembered for its lavish and beautifully illustrated science-fiction stories, issue #3 is probably the most sought-after, because of its all-star line-up. Wally Wood and Joe Orlando illustrate The Alien Raiders, an adventure of Kenton of the Star Patrol, while Sid Greene brings us the tale of The Flame Goddess. Howard Larsen and Sid Greene collaborate on Princess of the Past, an unused story of Malu, the Slave Girl Princess; and Wood, Krenkel, Williamson and Frazetta jointly illustrate the cover story Invasion From The Abyss. Not a dud in the lot, and this copy, with an unmarred cover and interiors, other than light general age-related wear and an approx. 6 cm diagonal back cover tear, without which this would grade significantly higher. Single tight central staple (as published) and clean attractive pages.
