", and was a showcase for the science fiction/suspense stories of artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, and for the groundbreaking work of writer-artist Jim Steranko.

Monsters and magician

The series began in June 1951 as a horror anthology from Marvel's 1950s precursor, Atlas Comics. Initially modeled after the gory morality tales of the popular and groundbreaking EC line of comics, Strange Tales became lesss outré with the 1954 imposition of the Comics Code, which prohibited graphic horror, as well as vampires, zombies and other classical monsters.

The comic changed again with the return of industry legend Jack Kirby, the artist who had co-created Captain America for the company and then worked elsewhere for 17 years. Starting with #68 (April 1959), Strange Tales was revamped to reflect the current trend of science fiction drive-in movie monsters. Virtually every issue would open with a Kirby monster story (generally inked by Dick Ayers), followed by one or two twist-ending thrillers or sci-fi tales drawn by Don Heck, Paul Reinman, or Joe Sinnott, with the whole thing capped by an often-surreal, sometimes self-reflexive Stan Lee-Steve Ditko short.
