AS WITH ALL COMICS/TITLES, VALUES SUGGESTED ARE FOR 'RAW' COPIES. THIRD-PARTY GRADED COPIES CAN FETCH SIGNIFICANTLY MORE ESPECIALLY IN HIGH GRADES.
Atlas/Marvel comics were officially distributed in the UK for the first time in a staggered progression between May and Jul 1960.
The first Strange Tales issue to arrive in Britain with a printed ninepence cover price was #75 dated Jun 1960. It is thought that there were a few market tester #74's dated May 1960 but I haven't seen one with a UK cover price. If you have one, send me a picture and put me out of my misery.
UK Variants: Issues #75 to #126 are printed 9d cover price and #127 is the first 10d ink cover stamp up to #135. From #136 it's a printed 10d cover price.
