STRANGE SUSPENSE STORIES #34 Ditko, Bill Gaines Story!
This Strange Suspense Stories #34 Charlton comic was published in November, 1957. Four of the five stories feature Steve Ditko art. This particular issue is somewhat famous, because one story concerns a ruthless business man, William B. Gaines (same name as EC comics producer). It's listed in near mint at over $500 in our old book, might be more now. This copy isn't near mint, but nice. See details below.
