Atlas Era Tales of Suspense Masterworks Vol. 1 (Tales of Suspense by Jack Kirby

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Tales of Suspense is known for being the magazine Iron Man debuted in and where Captain America landed a solo feature after his return from the ice. But before that, Tales of Suspense was a 1950s science fiction magazine in the style similar to the Twilight Zone. Each story is about 4-7 pages long and there are common themes about bigotry being wrong, a future where humans fear robots, and so much more.

If you like the 1950s stories, these are fine and you'll some very recognizable art styles from Jack Kirby and the other men who'd make the Marvel era shine, although there are a few daft ideas like ants with walky talkies being picked up by a boy. Still, there are some deft and thought provoking ones as well. Its definitely worth a read if you love that old 1950s/early 1960s Sci Fi.
