American Comics Group · Operation: Peril #16 · February-March 1952 · $0.10 · 52 pages · Bi-Monthly
Grade: null
Indicia publisher: American Comics Group.
Science fiction anthology featuring action-packed adventure stories starring recurring characters Typhoon Tyler, Danny Danger, and the Time Travelers. Each story delivers the kind of pulp-influenced sci-fi that made ACG's line distinctive during the Golden Age — less concerned with hard science than with adventure and spectacle.
The expanded 52-page format gives these stories room to breathe, allowing for more elaborate plotting and character development than the typical anthology cramming multiple features into standard page counts.
Part of ACG's ambitious early 1950s science fiction push, competing directly with EC's sci-fi titles by emphasizing the "Giant 52-Page Size" format that became a house trademark.
Condition null — Noting: Minor color breaking creases visible on cover, Small spine stress lines, Light soiling on cover surface. Complete interior, structurally sound, and unrestored.
We use AI to research and write our descriptions — we think Klaatu would approve of this miniscule relinquishment of power to the robots. Details are verified where possible but comics are complicated and we're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If something looks off, just ask.
