Weird Fantasy #14 Gaines File pedigree 3/9 (EC, 1952) C
<B>Weird Fantasy #14 Gaines File pedigree 3/9 (EC, 1952) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages.</B></I> This issue features the story "Mad Journey!", which was Al Williamson's first published art for EC. By the way, above Williamson's signature there's crosshatching which is actually the "FF" of Frank Frazetta, who helped out on the art. Overstreet credits a third member of the "Fleagle Gang," Roy Krenkel, with pitching in as well. Whatever the combination, the stunning first panel heralded Williamson as a major talent. There are other highlights worthy of mention here -- take two Joe Orlando vignettes starring Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein which almost could have run in <B>Mad</B></I>, two stories by Wally Wood, and one by Jack Kamen. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $1,400. CGC census 10/06: 2 in 9.4, none higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
