Publisher:Superior [Indicia: Randall Publishers Limited]
Date Published: July, 1953
Description:

CGC certified: Good (2.0). Cream to off-white pages. Cover detached. Cover, scripts and art by uncredited Iger Studio talent. Ruth Roche, editor. NOTE: The title of this mag as listed in the indicia is "Mysteries." The "Weird and Strange" tagline is merely a cover blurb. G. Suarez explains: "Overstreet recognizes the duality of the name by listing it as MYSTERIES (...Weird and Strange).... Since 'Mysteries' all by itself strikes me as a singularly inadequate name, I'll always refer to this comic by what I consider to be its full name." GPAnalysis: No reported sales in this grade. A 3.0 copy sold for $239 in January 2021.

"In issue #2, 'Revenge in Small Form' is... a rather interesting story about a beautiful gold-digger who finds herself at the mercy of voodoo spells cast over the dolls she loves to collect.... The splash to this story contains one of Superior's few bondage scenes. Superior's artists almost never indulge in this mild fetishism; although this story does exhibit their penchant for lingerie and bare leg art!" — George Suarez, Tales To Terrible To Tell #6. NEC: 1992, p. 38.
