We hope you enjoyed our little romp through the archives of Marvel’s Strange Tales series this week.

You won’t find many copies of the originals around any more, but you might get a kick out of Marvel’s high-quality hardcover reprints: Marvel Masterworks – Atlas Era Strange Tales. Enjoy!

What is X-35?!

Don Heck, Steve Ditko, Strange Tales

Dig these two short stories from Strange Tales #101. The issue also had two Human Torch stories that guest-star the Thing, marking the debut of the Torch’s popular run in this title. We like these sci-fi/occult backups by Steve Ditko and Don Heck. The splash pages are super fun, and the stories aren’t bad either!

Collector’s Guide:
– from Strange Tales #101; Marvel, 1962.

If you like What is X-35, you may also enjoy a similar but wordless treatment by Thomas Ott in the even-creepier The Number 73304-23-4153-6-96-8. (It’s sold out at Fantagraphics currently but is scheduled for reprinting in a soft cover edition in 2014. Until then you can see some other samples of Thomas Ott’s works in our archives.)

More about Strange Tales #101:
Human Torch solo series begins in “The Human Torch!” Plot by Stan Lee, script by Larry Lieber, pencils by Jack Kirby, inks by Dick Ayers. Fantastic Four origin retold. Also in this issue: “The Impossible Spaceship” with art by Don Heck and “What Is X-35?” with art by Steve Ditko. (Lee and Lieber may have written these last two stories.) There is also a 2-page text story, “Sdrawkcab.” Kirby/Ayers cover. Cover price $0.12.

atomic bomb, golden age, Hiroshima, occult, Strange Tales, Vernon Henkel

The April, 1954 issue of Strange Tales contains four illustrated shorts and one text piece. Early work by Joe Sinnot appears in The Cask in the Cave. Vernon Henkel provides the eerie artwork for the brief but dramatic Garden of Death! This tale, narrated by Death, scanned a bit better than the other tales. Let’s take a look!

Collector’s Guide:
– From Strange Tales #27; Marvel, 1954.

bernard krigstein, dinosaur, dinosaur comics, golden age, Strange Tales

mars logo dinosaurSo many things work against this piece of golden age nonsense: disastrous dinosaur depictions, colors fading into putridity, and lots of development to squeeze into four pages. Somehow, they pull it off. This is Bernard Krigstein, isn’t it?

If not, then it’s Paul Reinman, who did the artwork on the totally terrifying… Laundry Machines?

Oh dear god… those shirts! They’re… cleaning themselves! NNNOOOOOOOOO

One thing is for sure: First panel, Final page of the story. That is none other than the Free States Leader in DMZ! Yeah! That might be one we want to paint. The Free States Rising chapter of DMZ is one of our all-time favorite story arcs.

Strange Tales 26

Carmine Infantino, Jack Katz, Strange Tales, Sy Barry

Strange Tales 26 -  (2)This issue of Strange Tales stands out from others we’ve shared with you for a couple reasons. First, Marvel published it much earlier, in 1954. While we do have scans of earlier issues than that, they are admittedly poor quality. Even this one had some pages we just couldn’t bear to post, so you are getting two of the stories today.

Second, the good news: you can get a high-quality reprint of this entire issue from Marvel in hardcover format now, along with issues #21-30 (see our Collector’s Guide below.)

Third, the earlier publishing date means that this cover does not bear the Comics Code Authority stamp of approval. We believe you will find, as a result, a closer resemblance to EC Comics material of the 1950s. It’s rendered less in the embryonic “house style” at Marvel you find just five years later in this title. And by “house style” we mean “copying Kirby’s style and layouts or just having him block out the pages for you.”

But, that is a discussion for another time!
Now, crack open the vault and gaze at the wonder of Strange Tales #26!

Collector’s Guide:
– From Strange Tales #26; Marvel .
– Reprinted in Marvel Masterworks: Atlas Era Strange Tales, Vol. 3

The Last Stop, art by Gene Colan; Guinea Pig, art by Jack Katz; A Grave Mistake, art by Tony DiPreta. To the Stars, pencils by Carmine Infantino, inks by Sy Barry; It Could Be You, art by Vic Carrabotta.

Whatever knows fear, blogs at the touch of Man-Thing! Here he is, Marvel’s mucky monstrosity in some of our favorite swamp stories. We bet you never knew injecting yourself with chemical mutagens and fatally wrecking your car would be so much fun!

Today’s Man-Thing Memoir is so trippy we don’t even know what to say. Man-Thing and Silver Surfer team up to save the universe in a hail of really beautiful, twisted artwork by Liam Sharp and colorist supreme Christie Scheele.
