This should be the complete run from EC.

Comic: Weird Fantasy (EC)

Here are issues 13-17 of Weird Fantasy (V1)
Download

This are reprints of the originals (though the reprints have been numbered starting with #1 which was originaly#13 - see below for explanation)

from wiki-

The bi-monthly science-fiction comic, published by Bill Gaines and edited by Al Feldstein, replaced romance comic A Moon, A Girl... Romance with the May/June 1950 issue. Although the title and format change took effect with issue 13, Gaines and 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/June 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.

Artist/Writer Harry Harrison claims credit for originally turning Gaines on to the idea of publishing science fiction.

In 1952 EC published "Home to Stay" in Weird Fantasy 13, which was an unauthorized adaptation of two Ray Bradbury stories, "The Rocket Man" and "Kaleidoscope". After Bradbury contacted EC about this plagiarism, they reached an agreement for EC to do authorized adaptations of Bradbury's short fiction, resulting in official adaptations that appeared in future issues.

Many influences in this series (find out more here)

Old piles of good sh... stuff

These are spotlighted items - not always 'old' because of when they were made but rather these are things that were posted awhile ago on this blog and have been 'archived' in the back.
