*DC: For our first foray from the Midas Collection outside the world of super-heroes, we visit DC’s premier science fiction title, Strange Adventures for a trio of consecutive issues #4-6 from 1951 in very consistent grading. Julius Schwartz was the uncredited editor for this title, and creators included writers Edmond Hamilton, Gardner Fox and Schwartz himself; artists included Jim Mooney, Curt Swan, Howard Sherman, Carmine Infantino and the fabulous Virgil Finlay, among many others. The series went on to have a very respectable 244 issue run into the 1970s.with a wealth of wonderful stories and memorable characters; it’s fascinating to trace that back to its beginnings. Great covers on all.

Printed slightly askew so that there is a very slight bit of white spine down the top half, but not a significant defect. Narrow reading crease next to spine breaks colour, but a nice copy.
#5 VG- £70 Good colour, nice white to off-white pages, no marks. The staples are a little worn at front cover, but are well attached throughout. Bottom right corner has a few very short colour-breaking creases and there is some minor edge wear, but a very respectable copy. SOLD
