I remember the revolving plastic robot which seems to have inspired the cover. The front cover was re-used by George Turton pubs. for their "Adventure Annual" and the back cover for their "Super Thrill Album."

Thanks for all the additional info.Kingcat!  I have a couple of Super Thriller Annuals from the 50's.  Could this just be a similar title or will these be in the same series as the Super Thrill Album you refer to?  Melbee.

I think the SuperthrillER Annuals will be WDL productions and not the GT or Popular Press Adventure books we have.  If they are WDL Annuals, they might include some Ace Hart material.  Have a shufty at the indicia and let us know.  Really curious now.

Yes, you were spot on with your deduction, Paw!  These books do contain Ace Hart (with Val) stories.    :D Dates are 1957 and 1958 and both books have really dynamic, eye-catching front cover illustrations.  Melbee.
