As a result of Williamson s focus, it s possible to compile all of Williamson s New Trend EC work into one book which Fantagraphics is finally doing here. Sci-fi aficionados should note that although most of the stories were written by Al Feldstein, 50 Girls 50 features three of EC s legendary Ray Bradbury adaptations, including I, Rocket and A Sound of Thunder and a unique curiosity, a strip adapted from a short story submitted by a teenage Harlan Ellison. Williamson ran with a gang of like-minded young Turks dubbed the Fleagle Gang, who would help one another out on assignments. Thus this book includes three stories upon which Williamson was joined by the legendary Frank Frazetta, and one story ( Food for Thought ) where Roy Krenkel provided his exquisite alien landscapes, to make it one of the most gorgeous EC stories ever printed. As a supplementary bonus, 50 Girls 50 includes three stories drawn by Fleagles sans Williamson: Frazetta s Shock SuspenStories short Squeeze Play; Krenkel s meticulous Time to Leave; and Angelo Torres s An Eye for an Eye, an EC story that famously fell prey to censorship and was not released until the 1970s. As with other Fantagraphics EC titles, 50 Girls 50 will also include extensive story notes by EC experts.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49560202903825,"sku":"GOR011229423","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735839973649,"sku":"NGR9781606995778","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039013372177,"sku":"NIN9781606995778","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52580612079889,"sku":"CIN1606995774G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1606995774.jpg?v=1781171148"},{"product_id":"martian-monster-and-other-stories-book-jack-kamen-9781683961680","title":"The Martian Monster and Other Stories","description":"Stories in this volume include The Martian Monster, in which a 9-year-old boy befriends a Martian in the woods and asks him to kill his stepmother -- but the Martian convinces him that it's really his father who he should target.

How s Bayou? considered the single most spectacularly drawn of all of EC s horror stories, with a climax that would give body-horror king David Cronenberg nightmares. Ingels specialized in depicting the unimaginable. If you ever wondered what the vengeful, decaying corpse of an elephant stomping a woman to death would look like, it s in here ( Squash.Anyone? ). Or living rats sewn into the bodies of a tyrannical king and queen ( A Grim Fairy Tale ). or the results of injecting a poison-pen letter writer with literal poison and reducing him to, in the words of Al Feldstein s script, a foul-smelling, oozing pool of putrescence ( Notes to You  ). One of the two Ray Bradbury adaptations in the book, There Was an Old Woman (about a deceased crone who simply refuses to stay dead) provides the closest thing to a note of sweetness that you ll find here perhaps with the exception of the genuinely romantic A Little Stranger  and its loving marriage between a dead vampire and a dead werewolf. Sucker Bait And Other Stories features 25 classic stories from Tales From the Crypt, Shock Suspen-Stories, Vault of Horror, and Ingels and his Old Witch character s special showcase Haunt of Fear plus the usual fascinating historical, critical, and biographical material.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51885237043473,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51885237698833,"sku":"GOR009152007","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52973008814353,"sku":"CIN1606996894G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781606996898.jpg?v=1754565472"},{"product_id":"atom-bomb-and-other-stories-book-wallace-wood-9781683962458","title":"Atom Bomb and Other Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003eWood and Kurtzman's EC Comics war stories!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When artist Wallace Wood teamed up with writer\/editor Harvey Kurtzman to create stories, the result was some of the best war stories ever put to paper.

And nowhere did Kamen s clean-but-lush graphics work better than in the stories he created for EC s science-fiction comics. The title story, Zero Hour (one of three in this book adapted from works by Ray Bradbury), set in a Spielbergian suburban idyll, is particularly well served by Kamen s surface innocence; A Lesson in Anatomy works similar magic, with its Mayberry-esque setting veering into alien-invasion terror. If there was any devil in Kamen, it came out in his loving depiction of the female face and form, and you could see why his hapless heroes were often fatally entranced with them as in Punishment Without Crime (Bradbury again), He Who Waits  (a scientist finds an extreme way of rejoining his eight-inch-tall inamorata), and Miscalculation  (the lucky recipient of a package from the future literally brews his own harem); even the supercomputer in Only Human  proves vulnerable to a beautiful woman s charms. Zero Hour And Other Stories contains 22 classic EC yarns plus the usual all-new biographical, historical, and critical essays that have made Fantagraphics EC Library series the ultimate version of these classics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53614826946833,"sku":"CIN1606997041VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781606997048.jpg?v=1781172000"},{"product_id":"spawn-of-venus-and-other-stories-book-wallace-wood-9798875000393","title":"The Spawn Of Venus And Other Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe ultimate collection of Wallace Wood's finest science fiction stories.

Wood's meticulously detailed, genre-defining brushwork introduces you to breathtaking planetary vistas, terrifying aliens, and sleek rocket ships surging with the power to conquer the stars. \u003cp\u003eOur title story is a rarity that never appeared in any EC comic. Written and drawn for a 3-D comic that was canceled before it could be printed, we present it here in easy-on-the-eyes 2-D. Then, Wood's most iconic story, \"My World\" is a stunning showcase of the preternatural talent and technique he brought to all his stories. Also included are his trilogy of Ray Bradbury adaptations -- \"Home to Stay,\" \"There Will Come Soft Rains...\" and \"Mars Is Heaven!\" -- plus \"He Walked Among Us,\" a \"what if...?\" variation on Bradbury's \"The Man\" from \u003ci\u003eThe Illustrated Man\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut that's not all! An incredible science fiction bonus: Al Feldstein wrote many stories of people reaching from the beyond to right a wrong, but with this volume, in a twist worthy of the best of EC, he does the same himself! In 1955, the Comics Code rejected the second page of \"You, Rocket\" and forced EC to completely rewrite and redraw it. When the original art for that rejected page was rediscovered, one panel was missing. But Feldstein, in a middle-finger gesture to the Code and its heavy-handed censorship, wrote a new panel, restoring \"You, Rocket\" to what it was always meant to be. Sadly, he passed away before his final EC writing assignment was published. But here it is now, for the first time anywhere. Justice from beyond the grave.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 stories in all, most scripted by EC legend Al Feldstein, plus in-depth commentary by EC experts Thommy Burns, Grant Geissman, and Jon Gothold. \u003ci\u003eThe Spawn Of Venus And Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is the ultimate EC Wallace Wood science fiction collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53615283306769,"sku":"NGR9798875000393","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798875000393.jpg?v=1780396313"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/fantagraphics-ec-comics-artists-library-book-series.oembed?page=2","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
