Strange As It Seems

A brief, single-issue oddity from Bantam Books, Strange As It Seems (1955) collects a handful of the syndicated newspaper panel's most baffling real-life curiosities and pseudo-scientific marvels. Though it launched with just one comic, this title preserves the deadpan, pre-television wonder of John Hix's long-running feature, offering a time capsule of mid-century fascination with the bizarre.
