Wow. this was one of my first Atlas/Marvel comics I ever bought. I was eight years old, living in Maryland, and already hooked on DCs for a few months, but I never saw this line of books as they were not distributed in the few drug stores that carried comics in my area (within bicycle distance). I had seen a copy of Tales of Suspense #10 (with the great Kirby/Ditko inked Cyclops cover) at a friends, but just never really thought about if these were routinely published.
Then, on a trip to Indiana, we (my family)stopped in a store that DID carry this book (I only remember seeeing this Atlas book, although I am sure others were avaialble). My enjoyment of Lee/Kirby/Ditko & Heck had now begun (and a Crandall art/Lee story that was downright scary, as this was one of the few images I now know of showing an Atlas monster attempting to squeeze a man to death- check it out).
Lucki;y, I was able to pick this issue up on ebay, and now can re-live the enjoyment of one of my first exposures to what would eventually become the Marvel line of comics. Oh yes, a few months later I picked up all the FFs, Amazing Fantasy #15, etc, but by that time in 1961/62 they had become more widely distributed.
Nothin still beats those old monster tales…well, at least for me.
