My comment was from the standpoint of a 14-year-old comics fan finding this on an obscure newsstand in 1963. There was good stuff out there: Silver Age GL, Adam Strange, and Flash were at their peak. Marvel was exciting but still a bit crude. Besides them you had ACG and Charlton. This comic dropped on me like an atom bomb. Crappy printing or not, the combination of sexy pre-Code women, icky monsters, and incredible Wood artwork was totally unlike anything I'd seen. Made me a lifelong Wood fan for one thing.
