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."
