I think it’s because the Strange Tales numbering is higher, making the average collector think it’s less valuable than a TTA issue. Strange Tales was the first PHM run I completed, how about you all? I have NONE of the runs complete. I sold off most of the copies I had in the mid to late 90s to pursue Golden Age. It's actually VERY recently that I've gotten back into this area of collecting. I don't even want to discuss what I sold back in the day. Suffice it to say that some of those books are likely in the upper grades that exist area. It seems to me that within the last few months, people are starting to ask a LOT more for nice quality books in this genre. It's interesting to see which books are difficult to find in grade, using the census as a indicator. I collect both raw and certified copies, as I like to have a reader copy too. Makes it more expensive, but it's just so much fun to read them!!! bc, Jasonmorris1000000 and frozentundraguy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they haven’t done Venus #11-19 digital reprints yet on ComiXology and I’m not crazy enough to crack it open and read it. I think they reprinted one story from it in the 70’s. frozentundraguy, KirbyJack, 1950's war comics and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Lou 14 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I also bought this thing even though I don't really know what it is. But it's a #1, and it's called Suspense (one of those classic Atlas / Marvel title words), and best of all it says "MARVEL COMIC" on it. Looks like it's magazine size? Can anyone tell me more?

Dick Pontoon Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It's the first issue of the semi-long running PCH series Suspense, which featured several classic PCH covers as well as art by all the greats. Congrats! That's a title I collect and an issue I don't have.
