Strange Tales #58 - Al Williamson, Matt Baker art

Strange Tales #58

Strange Tales v1 #58, 1957 - When a scientist discovers an anti-gravity formula, he subsequently uses it to commit crimes. Al Williamson's splendid art lends weight to the story, supplemented by Ralph Mayo's terrific inking. In Matt Baker's tale, Communists kidnap a noted scientist for his groundbreaking discovery. Despite his notoriety on romance comics, this spy thriller is well within the artist's capabilities. His opening panels is especially well composed (see interior page below). Other artists in this golden age comic include Gene Colan and Pete Morisi. This is 1 of 2 Strange Tales issues by Williamson and 1 of 1 Strange Tales issues by Baker.
