<B>Weird Science #19 Gaines File pedigree 2/10 (EC, 1953) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white to white pages.</B></I> A scary cover from the master of sci-fi, Wally Wood, with interior art by Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson. This is one of the issues that brought down pre-Code comic books, as it was used in <B>Seduction of the Innocent</B></I> by Dr. Frederic Wertham. This book in particular, and EC Comics in general, were figuratively burned at the stake in the US Senate investigation hearings. An absolutely spectacular comic. There is currently only one copy of this issue that has been graded higher by CGC. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $710. CGC census 10/06: 3 in 9.6, 1 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
