American Comics Update: Big Panty Monster Alert: Strange Tales #86 & 91
*Marvel: A few years before the coming of the Human Torch and Dr Strange, Strange Tales had entered the Big Panty Monster phase, where said monsters were out to conquer or destroy the Earth, provided, in many cases, that they were equipped with sufficiently capacious panties. Dominated by Kirby and Ditko, this is a great period to collect for fans of these two titans of the Marvel Age of Comics.
