The Great Bohemian of comic books’ grandest moments, Wallace (aka “Wally”) Wood drew like a genius for a number of publishers before falling to overwork… This splendid volume collects some of his finest Sci-Fi.– “Comics Grinder”

Wallace Allan Wood (1927-1981) is widely considered to be America’s greatest science fiction cartoonist. But Wood could—and did—do it all: humor (a founding cartoonist of MAD), crime, superheroes, romance, war. He was also a pioneering alternative/underground cartoonist/publisher with his magazine Witzend. Among many other honors, he was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1992.

Albert B. Feldstein (1928-2014; Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame, 2003) was a triple-threat writer, artist, and editor, renowned for his work on such titles as Weird Science, Tales From the Crypt, and MAD magazine. He received the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.

Ray Bradbury was born in Waukegan, Illinois, in 1920. Growing up during the Great Depression, Bradbury began writing at the age of 11. Unable to join the military in World War II due to his poor eyesight, he began publishing science fiction stories. In 1947 he married Marguerite McClure and they had four daughters. His career as a writer included such notable works as Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and I Sing the Body Electric. Primarily known for his successes in science fiction, Bradbury also worked on various horror and mystery stories, as well as screenplays and television scripts. During his lifetime he received numerous awards, including a Pulitzer in 2007. Bradbury passed away in 2012.
