I so love this title. It is, to me, incomparably cooler than Tales To Astonish ( I know I shouldn’t say such things out loud). Back in the day, whenever I found TOS in the bins, I felt like I was getting the “good stuff”.

 I fondly recall buying the bulk of my Suspense run from a dealer at a KC convention. They were readers, and I must have bought 40 of them. The guy was very happy to see them kept together. That might be my second favorite con trip ever.

I’m still surprised that #63 and #66 aren’t considered key books and are still relatively affordable.  I have a reprint of #66 in a Fireside book called “Bring on the Bad Guys” which I read a million times as a kid.

The contents of a comic book seem to matter less and less every year. Unless it’s a First Appearance; which anyone who has been flipping slabs for a month can tell you, is ALL that matters.

LOVE that TOS 52...so many times that book has wear on the ULC...superb!

I have two copies of this issue in similar condition but just cannot decide which one to keep for my collection

The corners on the bottom copy look better to me.  I vote you keep that one.

I vote keep the second copy as well, FWIW.  Great books, as always.

Bottom copy vote here, too.

Whichever you pick, I would take the other so I could put it next to my Tales of Suspense #49 cover recreation by Bob Layton.
