This issue of Famous Fantastic Mysteries holds particular significance for collectors: it features "Allan and the Ice-Gods" by H. Rider Haggard, the final entry in Haggard's legendary Allan Quatermain series — the same character and literary lineage that helped establish the entire "lost world" adventure genre and directly influenced later franchises like Indiana Jones. Getting a Haggard byline in a pulp reprint magazine is a genuine draw for both classic adventure fiction collectors and pulp SF/fantasy enthusiasts.

The front cover retains readable colour but displays creasing, edge wear, and corner damage, while the back cover shows wrinkling and a missing chunk at the top corner. The spine is worn with colour loss and chipping at both ends.
