STRANGE SUSPENSE STORIES Volume 5 Hardcover

Charlton's not-to-be-underestimated Strange Suspense Stories boasted a huge roster creative of talents: Dick Giordano, Gene Colan, Sol Brodsky, Bill Molno, Rocco Mastroserio, Charles Nicholas, Tony Talarico, Bill Fraccio, Matt Baker. And of course Steve Ditko whose moody, individualistic touch came to dominate Charlton's supernatural titles. But before his Marvel fame, Charlton's shining light, Steve Ditko was at his best in this run of Strange Suspense Stories. He's in three issues here, with wonderful covers on two issues. In #39, he draws all FIVE stories. There's a fun robot story, "Robot Superior," in #40. Matt Baker puts in a rare appearance with "The Gloves," the lead-off story in #41.
