Supernatural Thrillers #3: The Yaffa edition


Page Publications' digest-sized Supernatural Thrillers #3 was published in 1980:


The cover is from Marvel Comics' Supernatural Thrillers #9:


The story contents are as follows:

The Return of the Living Mummy!, originally published in Supernatural Thrillers #7, June 1974
He Came from Nowhere!, originally published in Supernatural Thrillers #7, June 1974
Power Times Four!, originally published in Supernatural Thrillers #8, August 1974
The Little Gypsy Tea Room, originally published in Supernatural Thrillers #8, August 1974
Pyramid of Peril!, originally published in Supernatural Thrillers #9, October 1974
The Secret of the Universe!, originally published in Supernatural Thrillers #9, October 1974

The three Steve Ditko shorts in this issue are reprints of material from the early 1960's and do not include the job numbers.

He Came From Nowhere! was originally published in Strange Tales #94


The Little Gypsy Tea Room was originally published in Amazing Adult Fantasy #13


The Secret of the Universe! was originally published in Amazing Adult Fantasy #11


Any excuse to post some Ditko splashes...

This issue contains black and white prints of the front covers to the relevant Supernatural Thrillers issues sans trade dress:



Given SupernaturaI Thrillers #5 was recycled as an unnumbered edition I expect there is another edition of this issue too, either unnumbered or retitled, but I have not seen one.

Update 26 January 2023: There is indeed a retitled unnumbered edition of this issue - The Living Mummy:


Thanks to James Zanotto for the headsup.
