Overview

"The science fiction genre owes a debt, especially visually, to EC Comics, and this highly anticipated Wallace Wood collection shows why. It features over two dozen comics stories drawn in Wood's meticulously detailed brushwork (his ""lived in"" spaceship interiors helped inspire Star Wars' Millennium Falcon). And with titles like ""Spawn of Mars,"" ""The Dark Side of the Moon,"" ""A Trip to a Star,"" ""The Invaders,"" ""The Secret of Saturn's Ring,"" and ""The Two-Century Journey,"" how can you go wrong? Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC line, Spawn of Mars and Other Stories features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic comic book masterpieces."

Reviews

<em>Spawn of Mars</em>is how you do a classic comic collection right. Not only are the stories collected here all extremely entertaining, but they also showcase one of the genre s most prodigiously innovative talents at the height of his powers. ... Fantagraphics has done the literary world a great service with their collections, this one included. Anyone even remotely interested in classic science-fiction pulp or otherwise will find themselves in pure heaven picking them up. --Trent McGee


Wood's detail-laden panels, vibrant brushwork, and chiaroscuro lighting effects gave his stories a verisimilitude that the primitive cinematic special effects of the era sorely lacked; no Hollywood budget could replicate his intricate spaceships and other futuristic machinery or his imaginatively slimy bug-eyed monsters.--Gordon Flagg

Author Information

Wallace Allan Wood (1927-1981) is widely considered to be America's greatest science fiction cartoonist, but he was also one of the brightest lights of the early Mad comic and, later, a pioneering alternative/underground cartoonist/publisher with his magazine witzend. Albert B. Feldstein (1928-2014; Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame, 2003) was a triple-threat writer, artist, and editor, renowned for his work on such titles as Weird Science, Tales From the Crypt, and Mad magazine. He received the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.
