*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: While Avon’s Strange Worlds is well-remembered for its lavish and beautifully illustrated science-fiction stories, issue #3 is one of the most sought-after, because of its all-star line-up. Wally Wood and Joe Orlando illustrate ‘The Alien Raiders!’, an adventure of Kenton of the Star Patrol, while Sid Greene brings us the tale of ‘The Flame Goddess!’. Howard Larsen and Sid Greene collaborate on Princess of the Past!’ an unused story of Malu, the Slave Girl Princess; and Wood, Krenkel, Williamson and Frazetta jointly illustrate the cover story, ‘Invasion From The Abyss!’. Not a dud in the lot, and this copy, at GD/VG (unmarred cover and interiors other than light general age-related wear, approx. 3″ diagonal back cover tear, otherwise would be an easy Fine) is relatively bargainaceous for such a widely-desired issue.
