About the series
Marvel’s World of Fantasy (1956–1959) was a 19-issue anthology series that showcased eerie, imaginative short stories, often with twist endings and supernatural or sci-fi themes. The title is best remembered as an early showcase for Steve Ditko’s distinctive, moody artwork, alongside regular contributors like Jack Oleck and Carl Wessler. It stands as a key pre-superhero Marvel title, bridging the company’s 1950s horror-comics era with the atmospheric, character-driven storytelling that would define its 1960s output.
