DESCRIPTION
ow pages; Canadian variant.
Albert B. Feldstein cover/art, Wally Wood, Harvey Kurtzman art; 1st issue, formerly titled "Saddle Romances" ; EC ComicsAn historic first issue, with the EC formula already almost fully in place -- vivid, swoon-worthy art, crisp storytelling, wry commentary, all wrapped up in a cover that practically leapt off the stands. While these initial issues still have some of the cartoonish gloss of late-period Golden Age comics, the creepy, dark vibe of peak-period EC is already leaking into the cover and story, with Feldstein's nightmarish use of foreshortening giving the cover image a claustrophobic, clammy feel that portends of the challenging material inside.
