Subtitled "The Oddest Comics Ever!", former CRACKED magazine editor Mort Todd was hired by Marvel to produce a 4-issue series of remastered stories from their 1950's and 1960's Atlas titles. Todd discusses these in his editorial. Cleaned up and re-shot in blinding color, they would be the template for the later MARVEL MONSTERBUS volumes. The fantastic cover was created and colored by Steve Ditko. The first story, "Do Not Panic" was altered, and for an undisclosed reason the Caucasian astronaut was changed to an African-American. The issues shown in this series of posts are all sans ads.
