This bound volume contains the entire run of the two titles, including the picturesque eclipse cover of issue #24, the bizarre Wally Wood cover to issue #27, the highly sought-after and iconic cover to issue #29, drawn by the legendary Frank Frazetta, and the frantic elephant battle cover of Incredible Science Fiction #31.
