Judgment Day And Other Stories (The Fantagraphics EC Comics Artists Library, 8)

Longtime comics pro Joe Orlando drew this collection of subversive 1950s EC genre comics.
Joe Orlando was a mainstay at EC, especially on science fiction, and this collects 23 of his best sf stories. All of them, most scripted by Al Feldstein, serve up classic O. Henry-style endings, such as â€œI, Robot,â€ and â€œFallen Idol.â€ The title story is one of ECâ€™s most famous, with its blunt anti-racism message. When it was printed during the era of the Comics Code, publisher Bill Gaines and Feldstein had to fight to keep the storyâ€™s final panel â€œrevealâ€ (and thus its whole point) intact. It was a Pyrrhic victory, however, as â€œJudgment Dayâ€ became the last story in the last comic book EC published. This volume also features two of Orlandoâ€™s outstanding adaptations of classic Ray Bradbury science fiction stories: â€œThe Long Yearâ€ and â€œOutcast of the Stars.â€ Also included are all of ECâ€™s â€œAdam Linkâ€ adaptations, a series which was later also adapted for The Outer Limits TV show and featured Leonard Nimoy.
