Courtesy of the Traveler’s creator, Steve Ditko, this title beat pretty much everything else on the oldcreaking metal comicbook spinners. What it may have lacked in the comicbook equivalent of $100M SFX budgets, the Mysterious Traveler made up for it with sheer class, style and out ‘n out pizzazz and charm. A clear inspiration to the hugely popular AMAZING ADULT FANTASY, the Mysterious Traveler is surely the original ‘adult’ comic and the one that’s still—with these sumptuous hardcover four-colour volumes worth a deep read. Artists include Dick Giordano, Charles Nicholas, Steve Ditko, Tony Tallarico. Bill Molno. Howard Boughner, Maurice Whitman, Rocco Mastroserio and Paul Reinman.
