Tales of Suspense #1 - Al Williamson, Steve Ditko art + 1st issue

Tales of Suspense #1

Tales of Suspense v1 #1, 1959 - The shards of a fallen meteorite orbit around a bystander, causing him to shrink. Steve Ditko's inventive layouts expand the illusion of scale without sacrificing clarity. His excellent drawings benefit from carefully crafted inks, especially on the first two pages. Al Williamson illustrates a tale about Earth's first encounter with an alien spaceship. His realistic approach carries over to imaginative landscapes and strange new creatures. The pencils are enhanced by the pristine inks of Roy Krenkel. This issue also includes artwork by John Buscema and Don Heck. This is 1 of 47 Tales of Suspense issues by Ditko and 1 of 2 Tales of Suspense issues by Williamson. /// key 1st issue
