Weird Fantasy (1951 E.C. Comics 2nd Series) 16 CGC 6.5 1952 Variant

Paper: Light tan to off white

Label #1015209002

Al Feldstein classic outer space cover. "Mass Meeting" (art by Joe Orlando), "Skeleton Key" (art by Al Williamson), "What He Saw" (art by Jack Kamen), and "The Green Thing" (art by Orlando). The letters page comments on EC's Ray Bradbury adaptations with a disingenuous implication that the author approved them from the beginning. As is well-known now, Feldstein swiped the stories without authorization, but Bradbury called them on it, and soon an agreement was worked out in which EC paid Bradbury for the adaptations. NOTE: See 1st Series for 1950 #16. Cover price $0.10.
