Bronze Age Sci-Fi
Worlds Unknown arrived during Marvel’s early-1970s expansion beyond superheroes, adapting notable science-fiction stories for a new comics audience. Issue #1 brings together Gerry Conway, Gil Kane, Ralph Reese and John Romita—an impressive concentration of Bronze Age Marvel talent.
The dramatic John Romita cover captures the era beautifully: astronauts, Martians and pulp-inspired science fiction wrapped into an unmistakably early-’70s Marvel package.
Collector Appeal
A 9.6 is an exceptional grade for a 1973 premiere issue. Between the #1 status, classic literary sci-fi pedigree, major Marvel creators and quintessential Bronze Age presentation, this is an excellent high-grade addition to a Marvel anthology or science-fiction collection.
