American Comics Update: Slab Happy: Amazing Adult Fantasy – the Magazine that respects your Intelligence
*Marvel: During the lean years of the late 1950s to early 1960s, the company that would become Marvel ran a moderately successful sci-fi/suspense line built around two tropes: one, the famous ‘Big Panty Monsters’ by Lee & Kirby lauded in many previous updates, and the other, quieter, but even more chilling, twist-ending tales reminiscent of TV shows such as ‘The Outer Limits’ and ‘The Twilight Zone’. The latter proved so popular that the fledgling Marvel devoted an entire series just to them, Amazing Adult Fantasy by Lee & Ditko, taking over the numbering of Amazing Adventures from #7 and rebranding as ‘The Magazine That Respects Your Intelligence!’. Wall-to-wall Ditko in these issues. A brace of them freshly available, preserved in CGC plastic. Both present very well.
