A professionally graded comic book, “Unknown Worlds #1,” published by American Comics Group (ACG) in August 1960, securely encased within a clear CGC Universal Grade protective slab. The cover, rendered in an early Silver Age style and attributed to Kurt Schaffenberger, visually presents a dramatic encounter where a man in a suit recoils from a Native American figure armed with a tomahawk, seemingly leaping from a stylized train engine.

Story titles featured in this issue include “THE TRAIN FROM BEYOND,” “The VENGEANCE of PANDURRU,” “Frontier in the Stars,” and “Other Amazing Mysteries!” The CGC label specifies a grade of 6.0 with “OFF-WHITE TO WHITE Pages,” credits Richard Hughes for stories, Paul Reinman and Ogden Whitney for art, and bears the unique serial number 4577268015.
