This mouth-watering collection features the finest (and rarest!) science fiction stories Wallace Wood ever drew — more than two dozen! 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.Our 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 The Illustrated Man.But 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
