About this item
UNKNOWN WORLDS #9 - Published by American Comics Group (ACG) in August, this issue features the "Thrills-Mystery" banner and is approved by the Comics Code Authority.
The cover showcases a thrilling scene of a massive dinosaur menacing children near a city skyline, with one child crying out "H-HELP!" as they flee. This issue features the story "MY FRIEND JINKS!" with art by Ogden Whitney, telling the tale of young Jimmy Hollister who discovers a living, breathing dinosaur—a creature thought to be pure imagination and myth, but revealed to be devastatingly real. The comic also advertises other mystery-thriller stories including "Man of Magic" and "Doomed Village!" along with various other fascinating features typical of this era's science fiction and adventure-themed anthology series.
The interior includes a vintage mail-order advertisement for a Photo Ring premium offer from Wilson Chemical Co., featuring Famous Americans and collectible picture cards—a common promotional fixture in Golden and Silver Age comics.
