During a golden moment in the early 1950s, EC Comics lovingly adapted 25
classic Ray Bradbury stories into comics form, scripted by Al Feldstein
and brilliantly interpreted and illuminated by all of EC's top artists:
Johnny Craig, Reed Crandall, Jack Davis, Will Elder, George Evans, Frank
Frazetta, Graham Ingels, Jack Kamen, Roy Krenkel, Bernard Krigstein, Joe
Orlando, John Severin, Angelo Torres, Al Williamson, and Wallace Wood.
This special companion collection to our EC Comics Library series
features all 25 official adaptations plus an additional ten related
stories with stunning art reproduced in generously oversized coffee
table dimensions!
Highlights in this singular volume include: Home to Stay-- a clever
combination of two Bradbury science fiction stories that Bradbury
himself proclaimed topped his originals (available in no other form or
medium), masterfully woven together by Al Feldstein and Wallace Wood. A
Sound of Thunder -- the classic time-travel-gone-wrong story brilliantly
illustrated by Al Williamson and Angelo Torres. Touch and Go -- an
obsessive psychological thriller tautly executed by Johnny Craig. And
many more, including The Million Year Picnic (Elder), I, Rocket
(Williamson and Frazetta), Zero Hour (Kamen), Mars Is Heaven (Wood), and
There Will Come Soft Rains... (Wood). Plus a cornucopia of bonus
features, including introductions and commentary by Greg Bear, Ted
White, Dr. Benjamin Saunders, Bill Mason, and Thommy Burns; a wry
reminiscence by Ray himself; and two full-color paintings by Frank
Frazetta.
A superb, sumptuous showcase for these classic comic book masterpieces
that have never before been collected together in one volume.
