2024: Courtesy of the Traveler's creator, Steve Ditko, this title beat pretty much everything else on the old creaking metal comic book spinners. What it may have lacked in the comic book equivalent of $100M SFX budgets, the Mysterious Traveler made up for it with sheer class, style and out 'n out pizzazz and charm. A clear inspiration to the hugely popular Amazing Adult Fantasy, the Mysterious Traveler is surely the original 'adult' comic and published for the first time in our popular Softee format is absolutely still worth a read. Collects Tales of the Mysterious Traveler #6-10 (December 1957-November 1958).
