EC ed Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 While we're on the subject of Feldstein and satire.... "When Weird Science and Weird Fantasy combined after their Dec. cover dated 22nd issues to create the single quarterly mag Weird Science-Fantasy, Feldstein was left with a free week in his production schedule. Gaines suggested another book, Feldstein reasoned that with other publishers putting out MAD imitations, why shouldn’t EC do one too?" - Thommy Burns Well, they came up with Panic...here's the first issue (cover by Feldstein), which introduced the new Feldstein signature where "stein" was replaced with an image of an actual beer stein (see lower right hand fc corner) Raze and pmpknface 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Thanks. It is one of my favorite books. Special because of the contents: Vault of Horror #12 (#1), Tales from the Crypt #20 (#1), Crypt of Terror #17 (#1) & Weird Science #2. These all had random contents. This copy just happened to have these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuscemasAvengers Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Going to resurrect this thread from a few years back, started by Rick in honor of the great Al Feldstein. The reason I was looking for some sort of Feldstein thread is that I came across an oddity in a book I bought off of Cheetah earlier today (Jumbo Comics 56). Essentially, I was wondering if you knew what Feldstein's earliest work may have been at the Iger Studios, and whether Jumbo 56 might be it ... GCD notates that he may have done some backgrounds/inks (?) in one of the stories in issue 56 ... just wondering if there is anything else he may have done earlier ... The 56 seems to have a secret message encoded in some Oriental alphabetic characters, and the speculation is that it may have been done by Feldstein (at age 17??!!) because the characters spell out "Claire Szep", whom Feldstein would marry the following year, and stay married to, until their divorce 23 years later ... if true, VERY COOL!!! I wonder what the other Oriental alphabetic characters spell out in that story? The background is not credited, so that begs the question: what other backgrounds did he do prior to issue 56 that were also uncredited? https://www.comics.org/issue/3177/? https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=17480&page=22 http://alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2012/11/lettering-claire-szep-hidden-in-plain.html pmpknface, KirbyJack, RedFury and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
