American Update: Pre-Code Horror Fest: Unknown World/Strange Stories From Another World – Complete Fawcett series with Saunders Covers
*Horror 1940-1959: Launched in 1952 as Unknown World, this series abruptly switched to the lengthier title Strange Stories From Another World with issue #2, but continued very much as it had started, with top-notch tales of mystery and suspense by creators such as Bill Woolfolk, Sheldon Moldoff, and Maurice Gutworth, with breathtaking painted covers by Norm Saunders. Relying more on craft than explicit gore (though when that does occur, it’s more effective because of the general restraint), these are first-rate examples of the genre. Any issue of this series is uncommon, so it’s positively serendipitous that we currently have all five in our possession – but, we predict, not for long! Unknown Worlds #1 is GD+, with a tiny chip out of the upper left corner, at £95; #2 is FN £140; #3 VG- £85; #4 VG/FN £150 and #5 GD+ £50. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
