Add to basketHardback. Condition: Fine. Hard Cover. Russ Cochran 1980. 4 Volume set with slipcase. Slipcase. Book condition: VF - Very Fine. Black & White illustrations. FROM THE LIBRARY OF COMIC LEGEND DAVE GIBBONS! Published originally by William M. Gaines. This edition was the first of Russ Cochran's EC Library reprints & it is the only o…ne that has been reprinted. First edition copies are devoid of supplementary notes. The second print aligns with all subsequent libraries in that notes were supplied to inform the reader. Some first editions have the notes as a loose-leaf supplement. Publisher William M. Gaines always preferred the science fiction comics of all his publications. Even though modest sellers, he kept at least one title going from 1950 until the end in 1956. Weird Science (1950-3) took its numbering from Saddle Romances, hence early issues are numbered #12 through 15, then #6 through 22 (22 issues in total). These Comics present a dystopian view of man & his attempt to visit & colonise space, interact with alien species or live with atomic weapons. They are also imaginative, darkly humorous, despite their pessimism. From 1952 writer Ray Bradbury's stories were adapted & several are feature here. Add to that some of the most beautiful visions of 1950s science fiction from Al Feldstein, Wally Wood, Al Williamson, Harvey Kurtzman, Joe Orlando, Jack Kamen & others. Weird Science (with companion Weird Fantasy) represents the finest science fiction stories ever illustrated. Find out for yourself with this classic high quality reprint anthology. Each book is smyth sewn and deluxe bound to last a lifetime of re-reading. This comes from the personal collection of legendary comic artist Dave Gibbons and features a certificate of authenticity! 768 pages. Size: 9" x 12" (235mm x 310mm). (10). Various (illustrator).

Dust Jacket condition: F - Fine. 3 Volume Slipcased set. Published originally by William M. Gaines. When Shock SuspenStories appeared in 1951 it was designed as a showcase title…with examples of EC's (Entertaining Comics) crime, horror & science fiction stories. The second issue featured a shock story designed to provoke a reaction, In Gratitude. In subsequent issues, these "preachies" as publisher William M. Gaines liked to call them, dealt with race relations, rape, bigotry, hazing & all manner of formerly taboo subject. These stories lift Shock SuspenStories into the upper echelons of EC's output. Whilst not a horror Comic, two issues of Entertaining Comic's (EC) Crime SuspenStories were the subject of US Senate Committees investigations. The crowbar murder Issue (#23) & its predecessor, the notorious severed head cover. As the investigating Senator Kefauver said at the time "You have blood coming out of her mouth." After publisher William M. Gaines coy admission, Kefauver continued "There is blood on the axe. I think most adults are shocked by that." With Russ Cochran's Complete Crime SuspenStories you can enjoy all of these graphic masterpieces, illustrated by Johnny Craig, Jack Kamen, Graham "Ghastly" Ingels, Jack Davis, Reed Crandall & several other top-flight illustrators from the EC stable. There is also an adaptation of a Ray Bradbury short story in issue #9 (The October Game). There are several late stories by one of the masters of visual story telling, Berni Krigstein. Whilst Al Williamson's artistry was demonstrated in two stories, the second assisted by Frank Frazetta (Fired! #17). There are also the stark yet oddly beautiful covers of Johnny Craig, which will linger and play in the imagination. Each book is smyth sewn and deluxe bound to last a lifetime of re-reading. Fine condition with minor scuffing to slipcase. Size: 10" x 13" (250mm x 330mm). (4.5).

Dust Jacket condition: F - Fine. 5 Volume Slipcased set. Published originally by William M. Gaines. The Crypt Keeper's first two appearances were in the closing…issues of Crime Patrol (#15 & 16). Issue #17 needed a brand new title to usher in EC's New Trend. It got one with The Crypt Of Terror. After complaints from the establishment, issue #21 witnessed a further change with Tales From The Crypt. After MAD, this is the name most commonly associated with Entertaining Comics (EC), giving rise to movies & a successful HBO TV series & related products. After early cover by several prominent EC artists, the chores were taken over by Jack Davis, who made The Crypt Keeper his own. He drew all the covers from the thirteenth issue (#29) until the end. As with EC's other horror titles, the three Ghoulunatics (the Old Witch, The Crypt Keeper & The Vault Keeper) would host the various stories with increasing relish & macabre humour the series went on. They remained in full force from 1952 until the end. Lower Berth witnessed the origin of the Crypt Keeper (#33). There are also adaptations of short stories by one of America's finest writers, Ray Bradbury. The artist line-up varied over the years, with notable early stories from Harvey Kurtzman, Al Feldstein, Wally Wood & Johnny Craig. Al Williamson supplied a min-period story, with latterday issues enlivened by the likes of Berni Krigstein & Reed Crandall. EC had intended starting a fourth title by resurrecting the moribund Crypt Of Terror. With the Code crackdown upon them, it was hastily changed & released as t he final Tales From The Crypt (#46). Each book is smyth sewn and deluxe bound to last a lifetime of re-reading. Size: 9" x 13" (240mm x 330mm). (10).

FROM THE LIBRARY OF COMIC LEGEND DAVE GIBBONS! Published originally by William M. Gaines. Struggling to keep two science fiction titles viable, publisher William M. Gaines combi…ned Weird Science & Weird Fantasy, to form Weird Science Fantasy (1954-5). The title had been for EC's two science fiction annuals. The numbering continued, hence #23-29, seven issues in total. In a bold move the early editions were priced at 15c (American Comics of the time were all 10c). They did not sell and the price was dropped back after 2 issues. The high quality mix of science fiction stories and art was continued by Wally Wood, Al Williamson, Joe Orlando, Jack Kamen, Reed Crandall & Berni Krigstein. Most famously, the last issue featured Frank Frazetta's previously unpublished Buck Rogers illustration for the cover. With The Comic Code in place & words like crime, weird, horror & terror being frowned upon, EC launched Incredible Science Fiction (1955-6) into the void. It survived four more issues, #30 through #33. Jack Davis was asked to supply humorous covers, which he did, most skilfully. Inside were stories by Wood, Orlando, Krigstein and Williamson. EC's plea for racial tolerance, Judgement Day, substituted the Code rejected An Eye For An Eye, by Angelo Torres. However both are published here. After the problems with this issue, EC considered it futile to continue, thus making Incredible Science Fiction #33 EC's last ever Comic publication. Despite its slim appearance, The Complete Weird Science Fantasy is a classic compendium worthy of your attention. Each book is smyth sewn and deluxe bound to last a lifetime of re-reading. This comes from the personal collection of legendary comic artist Dave Gibbons and features a certificate of authenticity! Size: 10" x 13" (250mm x 330mm). (10).
