American Update: Atomic Sci-Fi: EC’s Weird Science-Fantasy x 2
*EC: EC’s Weird Science-Fantasy carried on the numbering, appropriately enough, from both Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, both of which ran up to #22. Weird Science Fantasy started therefore at #23 and lasted until #29, thereafter being rebranded as Incredible Science Fiction. One thing that didn’t change was the quality of the stories and art. This update, we have the first issue (#23) and the penultimate (#28), chock full of the superb work of Wally Wood, Al Williamson, Bernie Krigstein, Jack Kamen and Joe Orlando, with wonderful covers by Wood and Feldstein. Original EC’s don’t come up as often as we would like, and are eagerly sought; personally, I’m a bigger fan of their science fiction (as here) than I am of their horror, although their horror line is excellent as well. Both these issues present fairly well.
