I especially love the Bill Everett, Russ Heath and Dick Ayers Atlas era reprints. I wonder if the editors just decided it would be more work than it was worth to edit out those monster movie articles you mention (a real surprise.)

It was this series that made me a fan of Marcos; his style worked here in a way it just *didn't* in more conventional fare. <br />And while the backups may indeed be "rarely" as strong, there's one story here that's haunted me as one of the most disturbing things I've ever read: "Herbie the Liar Said it Wouldn't Hurt"...uggh...M W Gallaherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727667427780107723noreply@blogger.com
