EC Comics featured many stories by Ray Bradbury, and we’d like to share them with you. We discovered Ray Bradbury back in the sixth grade and subsequently read almost everything he ever wrote. So, while these stories weren’t new to us when we found them in EC reprints, we enjoyed the heck out of them. We hope you do, too.

Below today’s gallery, you will find a list of Ray Bradbury stories and the EC Comics issues where they appeared. We believe we’ve compiled a definitive guide. If you have additions or corrections, we would love to hear from you.

Joe Orlando hits another EC Comics home run with “The Fossil.” It’s a good thing we were not alive to read these in the 1950s, or we could have grown up terribly warped. We might have even turned into raving dinosaur-obsessed lunatics with a blog. Or some other hideous fate.

Oh… Wait…

This story reminds us of a lot of jobs we once had. But unlike our protagonist, we could actually quit — even if it meant living on ramen and rice for a month until we found more temp work. Enjoy this terrifying vision of modern society by Joe Orlando, in which we all serve the great machine, whether we want to or not.

Here’s an EC Comics gem from Weird Fantasy #17 called “The Aliens.” In the final climactic splash panel, the aliens exclaim “Squa Tront” and “Spa Fon!” Now, what the heck does that mean?! They were the names of fanzines put out by Frank Frazetta in the 1950s. Rock this amazing Al Williamson artwork!
