Additional Information: Marvel Tales #40 is an Atlas Comics (pre-Marvel) anthology title from the mid-1950s, featuring classic short-form science fiction, horror, and suspense storytelling typical of the era. This issue, published around 1955, is presented in a protective sleeve with a firm cardstock backing to help maintain its condition and support safe storage and display. A strong example of early Marvel/Atlas-era publishing, it reflects the transitional period of comics before the modern Marvel Universe took shape, making it an appealing piece for vintage comic collectors.
