Title: Harvey's Strange Story #1
Post by: richardgc1 on September 28, 2015, 04:18:36 PM

Hi,

I'm looking for any additional information concerning Harvey's Strange Story #1, July 1946, which introduced The Man in Black (as mentioned by Wikipedia, leastways). I've located the cover here: http://www.jhalpe.com/artists/view/264 & according to the GCD one story, Evil Essence, which was reprinted in Lorne-Harvey The Silver Scream #1 -- http://www.comics.org/issue/276236/. I can find no other information as to the contents. Was this issue ever published?

I'm not sure if this should be hosted here, considering it's vague publishing history, but I've put together the cover + 1 story if anyone is interested. http://depositfiles.com/files/yk10oybqj

Even for pre-code, that is one weird story.

Wonder if the history of that book will ever be known. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Richard.
The GCD link seems to suggest that Strange Story #1 was never published.  Unfortunately your story from Silver Scream falls outside our 1959 cut-off date.  It's an interesting topic.  Thanks very much for starting this.
