American Update: 3 x EC’s Weird Science
*EC: We’re always delighted to add the outstanding quality of the EC line to our catalogue, and judging from the way they get snapped up, we imagine you’re equally pleased to see them. On a personal note, I’m always even more impressed by the EC science fiction titles than I am by their horror or crime, but it’s a high benchmark all round. This week, three terrific issues of Weird Science from 1951/52, all sporting classic covers by EC master Wally Wood. Interior art by Wood, Kamen, Orlando, Williamson and more. #10 contains the classic ‘Transformation Complete’ sex change story and #20 the remarkable ’50 Girls 50′ drawn by Al Williamson with inks by Frazetta and Krenkel. Comics rarely get much better than these.
