World of Fantasy #16 - Al Williamson, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby art

World of Fantasy #16

World of Fantasy v1 #16, 1959 - A trio of great artists contribute to this single issue. Steve Ditko tells of an aged professor who unwisely releases a mythical genie from a magic lamp. Jack Kirby gives readers a glimpse of prison sentences in the distant future. Finally, Al Williamson chronicles the negative effects on a society endowed with a time machine. All three artists do a splendid job with both the art and layouts. Despite their vastly different styles, Ditko's expressiveness, Kirby's mechanics and Williamson's stark realism (see interior page below) excel on their own merits. Cover by Carl Burgos. This is 1 of 4 World of Fantasy issues by Ditko, 2 of 5 World of Fantasy issues by Kirby and 2 of 2 World of Fantasy issues by Williamson.
