The "Non-Superhero" 1st Issues of the Great Silver Age Runs

[bronze johnny]

They were runs that started during the 1950s. Some evolved into superhero titles while others regularly showcased new characters.These were the first "non-superhero" issues of the runs that started the SA:

 

Atlas/Marvel

 

Strange Tales 1

Journey Into Mystery 1

Tales to Astonish 1

Tales of Suspense 1

 

Amazing Adventures 1 - Kudos to AtlasFan for adding this classic.

 

DC

 

House of Mystery 1

House of Secrets 1

My Greatest Adventure 1

Brave and the Bold 1

Showcase 1

Tales of the Unexpected 1

 

And Kudos to Timely for reminding me about these two great DC books:

 

Strange Adventures 1

Mystery in Space 1

 

Kudos to Oakman for adding this Warren Classic:

 

Creepy 1

 

And they can be tough books to find in grade. Here's one I recently added to my collection:

Thanks pmpkn (thumbs u

I'd been looking for a copy of this book- the colors on this copy are amazing. This book also happens to have the distinction of being the first comic books series where the stories are told in the first person.

I'm looking forward to seeing copies of the other books in what I consider a special set of historically significant books.

Thanks again!

Bought it for the Russ Heath cover art. I'm beginning to appreciate his artwork more and more.
