COVERS TO LEAVE YOU SPELLBOUND...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS

L. MILLER's series of reprint comics were almost indistinguishable from those of ALAN CLASS, who bought the former's inventory of asbestos printing plates (in 1963 or '66 according to WIKIPEDIA, which seems unable to make up its mind on an exact date), the similarity of format facilitating a seamless continuation from one company's product to the other, at least as far as content goes.

Curiously, the asking prices for these comics seems a little on the high side in dealers' circles, considering that they're mere reprints and the printing quality is hardly first rate.  In some instances, it's probably possible to obtain the original MARVEL comic for the same cost, perhaps even cheaper.  Though I suppose if you had one of these mags as a kid, then that's the one you'd be prepared to fork out for if you really wanted to own it again.

However, that's enough boring waffle from me, so let's get straight to the pretty piccies.  Got a favourite?  Then shout it from the rooftops - though, failing that, you could tell your fellow Crivs in the comments section.  

Adult comic?  Must be referring to some of the pre-code backup tales

This is the cover to the CRIMSON DYNAMO debut tale, not that of Mr. DOLL,
which must've been the interior story.  Couldn't say why the original wasn't used

At least they got the colours of GIANT MAN & The WASP's costumes correct,
if not the other three.  And IRON MAN looks as if he's wearing only one glove
