DESCRIPTION
Wally Wood cvr/art; full page ad for Mad #1; EC Comics
EC Comics don't get more classic than Weird Science #16. Just take a look at the beloved kids-vs-aliens cover from Wally Wood, with the beloved artist also covering the somewhat-related story "Down to Earth." That's followed by Al Williamson's striking alien landscapes in the tragic "Space-Borne," while Jack Kamen and Joe Orlando provide ace illustrations for the closing tales of doomed time-travel and a bizarre Presidential election. It's easy to see why the kids wore out this book on the school playgrounds, leaving very few copies of the EC favorite at a high grade.
