Charlton Comics · Strange Suspense Stories #29 · 1956 · 10¢
Grade: FN 6.0
Cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia, signed on the cover. Comics Code Authority approved.
Interior story titles and creator credits for this specific issue are not confirmed in our reference sources. What is confirmed: this is a Silver Age Charlton horror and science fiction anthology, consistent with the series format throughout its 1952–1965 run — short standalone tales built around ironic twists, science gone wrong, and things that shouldn't exist but do. Standard page count for the period runs around 32 pages across four to six stories.
Dick Giordano was still years away from his high-profile DC work and his later role as an editor shaping the Bronze Age, but his Charlton output from this period is where the foundation was laid. A signed Giordano cover on a mid-50s Charlton is the kind of detail that gets noticed when you know the arc of his career.
Condition FN 6.0 — .
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it.
