American Update: Atomic Sci-Fi: Space Adventures #10-12: the Ditko trilogy
*Charlton: From 1954, three classic consecutive issues of Space Adventures, Charlton’s sci-fi anthology title with Ditko covers, highly prized items. #10 has a robot rampage cover with lurid colour that jumps out at you, and one short Ditko story inside among many others. A nice solid copy with some edge wear, a colour-breaking crease across bottom right cover corner, but tight, firmly attached staples and nice page quality. #11 has an intriguing alien squid-like thing menacing underwater astronauts as its cover, with two Ditko stories inside, both featuring slinky femme fatales as only sturdy Steve could depict them. A low grade copy, off both staples and water-staining throughout the top of the comic, but better than it sounds. #12 is the iconic astronaut girl about to be the prey of BEM cover (no Ditko content inside, but what a cover!). Creasing at edges, and small tears at spine, particularly around the bottom staple through the comic, but the cover image is unspoilt and the page quality not bad.
