HAVE YOU EVER ENTERED INTO A CREEPY WORLD AND LIVED TO TELL THE AMAZING TALE?

Copyright MARVEL COMICS

A few posts back, I said that the 14 issues (two of which are replacements for my originals) of ALAN CLASS comics I own are maybe all the issues I ever owned, but then I saw the above mag on ebay and it rang a bell with me.  I think (my memory having been prompted by the sight of it) that I also had this one too, so that's now 15 Alan Class comics in my possession, 12 of them my originals, 11 of which were returned to me by the person I gave them to over 30 years earlier.

This one's a little beauty, having as it does, two JACK KIRBY illustrated tales, two DON HECK ones, and five by STEVE DITKO.  The Kirby ones are I Am The GORILLA MAN! and The MAN From... TOMORROW!, the Heck ones I Know The POWER Of... The GENIE! and Only ONE Is HUMAN!  The tales drawn by Ditko are as follows:  I Was TRAPPED INSIDE Of The MARTIAN MAZE!, I Come From The SHADOW WORLD!, The FRIGHTENING FOG, Whose FACE Is In The MIRROR?, and The HAUNTED PAPER!

My original copy may have been priced at only 10 or 15p, but if so, that aside, my new replacement is exactly the same in every other way as the one I had back in the '70s.  Anyway, having taken a look through it, I know I'm going to enjoy it whenever I get around to reading it.

Did you ever buy any Alan Class comics, Criv-ites, and if so, what are your memories of them?  Or maybe you even still have them - if so, which ones are your favourites?  Reveal all in the comments section why dontcha?!
