98. Al Williamson, Frank Frazetta, and Roy Krenkel original artwork for Weird Fantasy #20 complete 7-page story "I, Rocket". (EC, 1953) Accomplished in pencil, ink, and zipatone on 15.5 x 22 in. art board. Three of EC's finest artists team up to illustrate this classic tale adapted from a story by sci-fi legend Ray Bradbury, in which a war rocket tells its tale of foiling would-be saboteurs, saving the crew, going through a space-war with Mars, and its fate after the war. Williamson and Frazetta (signed on the first page splash, "FF") turned in a stunning job of sharp fine pencil detail and beautiful, lush inks (arguably some of Frazetta's finest for this prime period) across all of this outer space story-the large panel on the splash page is especially beautiful. In August of this year, a similar EC sci-fi story by the same artists sold at auction for $90,000, and we feel, based on artistic merit and story content (plus the addition of Frazetta's "FF" signature), this example to be superior to that one. With paste-ups and elements of stripped-in panels on multiple pages, which is common for many of the EC stories of the time, as the order panels were often reworked. Truly an exceptional example of why EC comics were considered some of the greatest ever produced. In very good condition. $60,000 - $80,000
