The very start of Marvel’s Amazing Adventures anthology series — and the first appearance of Dr. Droom, one of Marvel’s earliest Silver Age super-heroes (predating the Fantastic Four by just a few months). Dr. Anthony Droom, created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko, is introduced here as Marvel experiments with mystical and science-fiction storytelling that would shape the Marvel Age of Comics.
This debut issue also includes:
“Torr” – a tale of alien invasion by Lee & Kirby.
“Midnight in the Wax Museum” – a chilling Steve Ditko short.
A bonus text story, Masquerade.
Cover by Jack Kirby with inks by Dick Ayers. Interior art by Kirby, Ditko, and more.
📖 36 pages, full color. Cover price $0.10.
📝 MAJ. PICTO’S GRADING NOTES
FR/GD (1.5) – Heavy wear and visible defects consistent with grade. Back cover missing. Full spine split but interior is complete, preserving all story content. A low-grade survivor of a historically important Marvel key.
