Weird Science v2 #18 - Wally Wood art & cover, Al Williamson art

Wally Wood

Weird Science v2 #18, 1953 - In a remote part of the galaxy, a rocket ship lands on a rubbery-surfaced moon. Outer space is filled with a multitude of stars in this stunning Al Williamson effort. Dramatic lighting and sensitively applied brushstrokes make this story a standout among his EC works. Wally Wood does an equally compelling job with his Ray Bradbury adaptation, telling the tale of astronauts finding long-dead loved ones on Mars. The same high level of craftsmanship occurs on the cover, where Wood rings an atomic explosion with an armada of flying saucers. Other artists in this golden age age comic include Jack Kamen and Joe Orlando. This is 4 of 8 Weird Science v2 issues by Williamson and 16 of 20 Weird Science v2 issues by Wood.
