Al Feldstein is best known as the main writer/editor of the EC comics lineduring the first half of the 1950s and then the editor of Mad Magazine for thefirst three decades of its existence. But what many don't know or remember isthat Feldstein was also an accomplished and distinctive cartoonist, whose comics(which he both wrote and drew, a relative rarity in those days) adorned thepages of many of those self same EC comics. His powerfully composed, meticulously inked pages, often featuring grotesque creatures or scenes ofghastly destruction (and some of the greatest stiffly handsome/beautifulspecimens of 1950s humanity ever put to paper), were a vital part of the allureof these classic comics. Feldstein's contributions to the first year and a halfof EC's two SF titles, Weird Science and Weird Fantasy comprise 16 classic O. Henry-style shock-ending stories. Evocative, vintage titles as Things From OuterSpace. The Flying Saucer Invasion, Spawn of Venus, Destruction of the Earth, andAm I Man or Machine? will be collected in their integrity in this volume. Thiscollection also boasts a new interview with Feldstein about his years at EC, focusing in particular in his work on these science fiction titles that were thecompany's pride and joy (and were killed a few years later by the Comics Code). | Child Of Tomorrow by Al Feldstein, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
