Number 2028: Not so alarming adventures

“Trapped in the Human Aquarium” has some pretty pictures, credited to Reed Crandall and Al Williamson, but the story is a supernatural “mystery” story of the era. What a difference in Harvey Comics from just a few years earlier, when they published some of the liveliest horror comics in the biz. By 1962, when Alarming Adventures #2 was published, it was an example of the Comics Code during its most powerful period.

I bought the comic when it was new because of the John Severin cover, the Crandall/Williamson story I am showing today, and two short stories by Bob Powell.
