Description
The Tarantula #1, published by Atlas Comics in February 1975, marking the debut issue of this short-lived Bronze Age horror series. Featuring the story “The Curse of the Tarantula!”, this first issue combines supernatural horror with classic 1970s monster comic styling and is part of the collectible Atlas/Seaboard Comics line.
This comic is presented in a protective sleeve with backing board. The cover retains strong colours and good eye appeal, with visible light spine stress, minor edge and corner wear, and general handling consistent with age. There is also a vintage retailer price sticker and ink price stamp on the front cover. Overall, it remains a solid, attractive copy for collectors.
Atlas Comics had a brief but memorable run during the mid-1970s, making first issues such as this increasingly desirable among Bronze Age comic collectors. An excellent addition for fans of horror comics, Atlas/Seaboard publications, and collectors looking to complete this scarce series.
