Weird Science Fantasy #26, December 1954
I love stories about UFO sightings. As a kid, that was a (small) section of the library I often haunted.
I don’t believe that aliens are touring our planet, but I’d love to find out I’m mistaken. The problem, of course, is that the science, as we understand it today, makes it pretty unlikely. (A fun book on the subject, The Physics of Star Trek, dives into the detail.)
I like UFO stories so much that this was one of the first actual EC back issues I ever forked over my hard-earned allowance for back in the early 70s.
I don’t own that issue anymore, I sold it when Russ Cochran’s reprints started covering the EC bases.
But I own this great “one-pager” of Wood original art — something I could never have conceived of as a kid.
And who knows? Maybe one day, extraterrestrials actually will land on the White House South Lawn and tell us: “Einstein, nice man, he just had one part of the formula incorrect.”
Happy 50th EC Comics!
