Strange Tales #64 - Al Williamson art

Strange Tales #64

Strange Tales v1 #64, 1958 - The discovery of a youth serum has hundreds flocking to the scientist who invented it. Al Williamson's painterly inks create an ominous mood on the first two pages (see interior page below) but falters from there. A few panels are obscure, even sloppy in their execution. Most unfortunately is page three panel five, where the face of a mysterious seer is blatantly modified. Her mouth poorly drawn, inconsistent and disproportionate. Probably not done by Williamson himself but perhaps someone making a last minute change in the editorial department? Other artists in this golden age science fiction comic include Vic Carrabotta, John Forte, Robert McCarty, Jim Mooney and Bob Powell. Cover by Joe Maneely. This is 2 of 2 Strange Tales issues by Williamson.
