Atlas Era Tales of Suspense Masterworks Vol. 2 (Tales of Suspense by Jack Kirby

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book collects Issues 11-20 of Tales of Suspense with some pre-Marvel offerings of classic 1960s Sci Fi. I don't think the individual stories were quite as good or clever as in the previous volume, but in this Volume, Tales of Suspense began to evolve to feature one long story along with all the short stories in the magazine. Generally, these featured an evil monster of the month. These were actually quite fun with great art even if the plots were a tad predictable.

The stories were all generally good. There were text stories with each issue in accordance with federal regulations and most of these were passable (although there was one repeat.) The last one regarding a weather man was quite wild.

Overall, these were fun if you like 1960s goofy sci fi and a chance to see great comic creators before the Marvel Age of heroes was born.
