It qualifies in my book.  There’s another Everett robot cover I saw recently that I wanted really bad.  I can’t remember what title though.  Maybe Journey into Mystery?  Can someone can jog my memory?  The robot’s boots look exactly the same on the other one.

This one? (courtesy of comics.org)

Might as well show this book as well. It was an LCS pickup and has a similar theme as Journey into Unknown Worlds 54, and need I add another great cover by Bill Everett.

One of my favorite covers of that series!

Love the amount of detail, don't see that in the later books.

If you're talking about the sci-fi/fantasy titles - then OSPG #22 is for you. Stole a cover shot off the web:

Picture 1 of 1

Gary Carter & Pat Calhoun put together a section called "Journey into the Unknown World of Atlas Fantasy". It's about 15 pages of history, pics, charts, graphs and timelines. I read mine so much that all the pages fell out and I had to buy another copy. 

This deep-dive really fueled my initial passion for this genre and I still consult it often.

I think I compiled a spreadsheet of all the titles, let me run up to my other computer and see if I can find it....

I just marched directly over to eBay and bought one.  Thank you!!

This has been my source for many years. I actually just use a highlighter and mark out an issue when I get one, I'm not very sophisticated. I've really worn my copy out (it's basically falling apart at the seams).

frozentundraguy talked me into buying a copy of World of Mystery #1 (although it didn't take much prodding).  It has a subscription crease that bugs me, but its really cheap.  I wanted to go back and buy the Strange Tales #56 too, but it was gone.  So sad 

Guilty as charged.  lol  Buy one now or wait 2 to who knows how many years for a reasonably priced mid grade or aggressively priced high grade to come along.
