What’s Old: Pulp-Style Sci-Fi with Amazing Adventures #1 (1950)
Already a successful publisher of pulp magazines, Ziff-Davis decided to diversify into comic books, and one of their outstanding contributions to the field was Amazing Adventures, an anthology devoted to high-flying science-fiction adventures, complete with daring heroes, voluptuous (and sometimes sinister) ladies, and weird aliens galore! This first issue is in a remarkable state of preservation for its vintage, its cover promising delights which were lived up to in the interior line-up: contributing artists include Wally Wood, Alex Schomburg, Murphy Anderson, and Ogden Whitney on lurid thrillers ‘Asteroid Witch’, ‘A-Day’, ‘Winged Death On Venus’, ‘Trespasser In Time’, and ‘The Stone Men’. Grab a slice of yesterday’s tales of tomorrow! This beauty is FN £150.
