Alarming Adventures #1 - Al Williamson art + 1st issue

Alarming Adventures #1
Alarming Adventures v1 #1, 1962 - Better known for their Casper and Richie Rich titles, this first issue is among Harvey Publications' early forays into science fiction genre. A surprisingly well drawn Reed Crandall story anchors this issue, beautifully inked by Al Williamson. The opening panel of a spaceship approaching a cratered planet is comparable to some of his best stories for EC during the 1950s. His skill in this genre is impeccable and evident in many of the pages. This issue also includes artwork by George Tuska and Bernard Baily. Cover by John Severin. This is 1 of 3 Alarming Adventures by Williamson. /// key 1st issue

The art resembles EC at it's best, but certainly not the story. It's almost comical: page 2 panel 3 a marriage proposal is rejected; he responds "Yeah, sure...sure"!
