About the series

From 1955 to 1967, Charlton Comics’ Strange Suspense Stories mixed science-fiction horror with superheroics across 51 issues, most often scripted by workhorse writer Joe Gill. The series is notable for introducing the atomic-powered hero Captain Atom (and his alter ego Allen Adam), with early art by Steve Ditko that showcased his signature surreal energy. It matters as a key proving ground for Ditko’s cosmic style before his Marvel fame, and as a cornerstone of Charlton’s quirky, budget-conscious Silver Age lineup.
