EC Comics: Confidential!

Confidential, EC Comics, EC Comics reprints, Wally Wood, Weird Science

Many of the EC Comics creators appear in this little gem called “EC Confidential,” illustrated by Wally Wood. We’d like to say we did the research to see if these ‘predictions’ actually happened, or if this is entirely fabricated. But honestly, we didn’t. It’s still a rad story if you have an ounce of science-fiction fandom in your blood.

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.

Origins of OMAC: Made of the Future; EC Comics

Al Feldstein, Alvin Blank, Buddy Blank, EC Comics, golden age, Jack Kirby, Made of the Future, OMAC, Weird Science

In the first issue of OMAC, we met Buddy Blank, a man in the future. He worked in a factory that created artificial lovers for lonely men and women. This masterwork arose purely from the vivid imagination of Jack Kirby… Or did it?!

All the Kirby biographers and OMAC experts fail to mention this short story from EC Comics: Made of the Future. It features Alvin Blank, a man who travels to the future and procures an artificial wife. Al Feldstein’s signature appears on this tale from 1951, twenty-three years before the first issue of OMAC!
