Strange Tales 1951 #150 - reader copy - $14.00
On-sale date from 1966 Periodicals, Copyright Office, Library of Congress.
- Exit Kaluu... Enter Umar! - New masthead designed by Sol Brodsky (mentioned on the Bullpen Bulletins page).
- Hydra Lives! - Part 1 of 9. 1st appearance of the new Supreme Hydra, later revealed to have been its real leader all along, behind-the-scenes. In this episode, Jasper Sitwell is a dead ringer for Roy Thomas!
- Sensational Secrets and Incredible Inside Information, Guilessly Guaranteed to Avail You Naught! - Items; The Mighty Marvel Checklist; Let's Meet 26 More M.M.M.S. Members!
- The Conquest of Kaluu! - Part 4 of 22. 1st appearance of Umar. Candles used in time-travel previously used in STRANGE TALES #124 (September 1964). Due to the growing use of soap-opera format, Kaluu's story runs straight into Umar's without a break between episodes. It seems ironic that Kaluu was described as being more powerful than Strange & his mentor together, yet with this episode he vanished, never to return; while Umar became a long-running villain still appearing to this day.
- - Letters of comment from Donnie Butler; Larry Johnson; Lise Bredbenner; and Carl Gafford. Also includes Merry Marvel Marching Society info and coupon.
