An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures approximately 7 1/8" x 10 1/4") (Learn More) Weird Science-Fantasy was a science fiction-fantasy anthology comic from 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. Over a 14-month span, the comic ran for seven issues, starting in March 1954 with issue #23 and ending with issue #29 in June 1955. The comic, edited by Al Feldstein, was a merger of two previous bi-monthly titles, Weird Science and Weird Fantasy. This was the merger of the two earlier EC science fiction comic titles published by Bill Gaines (later publisher of Mad Magazine). They were Weird Science and Weird Fantasy. 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 this single title, 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!

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. Note that due to the greater interest in this comic we have pictured EVERY single page of this comic, which means that you can see EVERY defect the comic has, AND get a good sense of its condition. While we gave the comic an overall condition grade (and sometimes describe the defects in words) please rely on the actual images of the comic to help you decide what YOU think its condition is, and then bid or not bid based on what you are seeing in the images. And if you have ANY doubt as to what the condition of the comic is, or whether you want it in the condition it is is, then please do not bid, as we do not want any retracted bids or returns if at all possible. If in doubt, do not bid!. Condition: good, with old restoration. The comic had small tears and tiny paper loss in the spine and someone used glue and paper to "restore" it from the inside. Otherwise, the comic is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
