American Comics Update: Atomic Sci-Fi: Strange Adventures #1
*DC: Along with Mystery In Space, Strange Adventures was one of the two premier science-fiction titles of the 1950s/60s from DC. The first landmark issue features a photo cover and adaptation of the movie Destination Moon (original screenplay Robert A Heinlein) by Gardner Fox and Curt Sawn. There’s also first outings for the recurring characters Chris KL-99 and Darwin Jones, plus lots more features and stories. Other creators include Edmond Hamilton, David Reed, Dick Sprang and Jim Mooney. This is a decent copy with a clean, bright cover and low to average wear at spine and edges. A little chipping just at the top of the right edge, and an upper spine split of about 2 cm. Staples are a little pulled at spine, but still firmly attached there and at centrefold. Page quality is a trouble-free off-white. I don’t think we’ve ever had a copy of Strange Adventures #1 available before.
