Marvel Masterworks - Atlas Era Strange Tales v05 (2011)

Collects Strange Tales (1951-1968) #40-48.
From the dark heart of the Atlas Era comes another dose of bizarre and exciting STRANGE TALES! Crafted by a host of the most talented illustrators to ever grace the comic-book page - from early work by Steve Ditko to accomplished efforts by Bill Everett - each story is a page-turning pleasure from the days when comics were as frightful as they were delightful! A heaping helping of bug-eyed aliens, unexplored caves, time machines, mermaids and atomic bombs will prove to you there's a taste of something for everyone with a penchant for the fearsome and the fantastic. And with an in-depth introduction by noted Atlas scholar Dr. Michael J. Vassallo, there's no other place where comics' most contentious era is presented and studied in such detail as here.
