*Horror 1940-1959: The Atlas series Suspense (which started in 1949) began as a crime comic based on ‘gripping CBS Radio – Television series’, but after two photo-covers with #1 & #2, it changed tack to full blown pre-code horror with #3 and lasted 29 issues. Issue #3 was thus the first horror issue and contained art by Gene Colan, Joe Maneely (one splash page), Sol Brodsky, Bill Everett (?), and others. A bright copy with only minimal edge wear, a couple of creases to the back cover only, a slight spine roll and a rusty lower staple with minimal migration; pages are off-white and the staples are tight with centrefold firmly attached.
