Weird Fantasy is a pre-code fantasy science fiction (sci-fi) anthology comic that was part of the EC Comics (E.C. Comics) line in the early 1950s. This comic was published by Bill Gaines (William Gaines) through his company, EC Comics (E.C. Comics), which he inherited from his father in 1947. The bi-monthly comic replaced romance comic "A Moon, A Girl... Romance" with the May 1950 issue. Although the title and format change took effect with issue 13, Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein decided not to restart the numbering in order to save money on second class postage. The Post Office took note, and starting with issue #6, all the issues were numbered correctly. Because of this, Weird Fantasy #13 could refer to either the May 1950 issue or the actual 13th issue of the title, published in 1952. The same confusion exists for issues #14-17, #17 being the last issue published before EC reset the numbering. This was one of two EC science fiction comic titles published by Bill Gaines (later publisher of Mad Magazine). The other was Weird Science. They did not sell nearly as well as the horror titles, but Gaines and Feldstein loved science fiction, and they stuck by these titles, although when sales declined, they combined them into a single title called "Weird Science-Fantasy", which then further changed to "Incredible Science Fiction". Since the ending of publication, all of the EC comics have been reprinted many, many times, in many formats, and there have been several movies and TV series based on them!

Please note that we don't use a "comic guide" grading system, and OUR grading scale is completely different from standard comic book grading. Our "very good" is completely different from a comic book graded "very good". Note that in the case of this comic, we pictured all of the pages, because it is of greater interest to collectors, and we want them to be able to see every single page of the comic, which should allow all bidders to get a sense of the exact condition of this comic book.

Note: We have 19 images of this comic book, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 19 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 9.
