Astonishing #50

From Atlas Comics' June 1956 anthology comes Astonishing #50, cover by Carl Burgos, promising a fresh batch of "All Brand-New Astonishing Tales." The cover delivers an immediate jolt of dread: a massive, chain-restrained arm reaches through a barely-cracked door toward a terrified blond man in a red sweater who's scrambling to escape across a wooden floor. The teaser — "What Was the Astonishing Secret of 'The Fantastic City'?" — makes this a must-read for fans of mid-1950s Atlas mystery and suspense, with Don Heck handling interior art duties inside.
