Tales of Suspense #18, June 1961, Raw - Atlas Comics, Tales of Suspense #18, June 1961. The cover features the unforgettable debut of Kraa the Unhuman, with dramatic wraparound artwork by Steve Ditko showing the creature's massive hands looming over jungle explorers. This issue represents the tail end of Atlas's pre-superhero anthology era, filled with the sci-fi and horror tales that defined the publisher's output before the Marvel Age began. Interior pages show typical period content including ”You Too Can Be Tough,” drawing tutorials, and feature advertisements. The copy shows honest wear consistent with six decades of handling — cover exhibits tears and creasing, most pronounced along the spine and edges, with significant color breaking throughout and age-related yellowing to the interior pages. Centerfold intact. A reading copy that captures the raw appeal of early 1960s horror comics, essential for collectors pursuing complete Tales of Suspense runs or early Ditko cover art.
