Gaines File Copy
Highest GradedWeird Science-Fantasy came into existence in an effort to cut some corners and combine two titles into one, in doing so, EC only heightened the quality of the stories and art that went along with them. There is actually a reader’s letter in this issue that thanks the publishers for producing something with more depth than an average comic, saying the title is an illustrated sci-fi book, worthy of a literary designation. The short stories in this issue touch on humanity, bigotry, interstellar travel, life, and death, raising this comic up above the trivial output that clogged up spinner racks across the country. Created by the amazing talents at EC, their space operas went above and beyond their tawdry and violent horror titles to transcend the comic book form and reach for something approaching great art. An issue filled with emotion and wonder, some of the best work EC has to offer. One-of-four top graded copies registered on the census, another mind-blowing issue from the exuberant Gaines File pedigree, this comic could not possibly look any better, from front to back, cover to cover, this is an example of a near-perfect comic that has been around for decades. It is truly a pleasure to glimpse these books from the Gaines pedigree, to know they were kept safe by the publisher himself, so future generations could enjoy his comic about, um, future generations. Anyway, there’s not much to say about this book that is not evident by one look at it. If you are an EC collector, you need to go after this copy, there are very few like it out there.
