Number 2376: Legendary John Buscema and the legend of the clock

One of the finest illustrative comic book artists ever, John Buscema worked his artistic magic on stories from ACG in the fifties, including today’s offering from Forbidden Worlds #75 (1959). I was reading the ACG titles at the time; I remember Buscema and I marveled at his drawings. Marvel Comics readers also “marveled” at his drawings a few years later when he became one of Marvel’s most prolific action artists.

“Legend of the Clock” has a mood which I know well. Mrs Pappy and I visit antique stores quite often. Although we love them, we have never had an antique store manager give us a story like the young couple gets in this tick-tock tale. Ol' skeptic Pappy wouldn’t believe it, anyway.

Here are two 1959 stories from Adventures Into the Unknown. Just click on the thumbnail:
