One of my earliest comic book memories. I can recall picking this one up when I was six years old at the Downingtown Farmer's Market in Pennsylvania. It was in a bundle of comics with the titles ripped off. The whole bundle sold for a darned quarter that I talked Dad into coughing up. I treasured this book and begain buying the monster titles on the stands from then on.
Fantastic site! A service to mankind!

A great issue of the early TOS series, and one that I missed as a kid. I bought a decent copy of this comic book on Ebay, as I just had to read about the menace called SPORR, and I wasn't disappointed. These pre-superhero Marvel comic books are true classics, and worth every penny of their current market price. My appetite for old issues of TALES OF SUSPENSE, TALES TO ASTONISH, JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY, STRANGE TALES, and so forth, will never end. I regret selling my old comic book collection to a used book shop when I was eleven years old, but my dad convinced me that I was too old to read them. Boy, he was sure wrong! Within months of selling that collection, I was buying comic books again. Unfortunately, back in those days, most of the comic books from my old collection couldn't be replaced again, so that was a big loss for me. My dad gave up the idea of putting an end to my comic book collecting, but he never understood my fanatical interest in the hobby. I was still reading comic books in Southeast Asia as a Marine Corps grunt, so I guess that I can be called a true comic book fanatic. I still collect old comic books today, so I guess that I will always have FIN FANG FOOM, SPORR, MONSTRO, KRANG, XOM, and all the other classic creatures from my childhood in my life forever more!
