50 Girls 50

Al Williamson was barely out of his teens when he signed up with EC comics, but a lifetime of studying such classic adventure cartoonists as Alex Raymond (Flash Gordon) and Hal Foster (Prince Valiant) had made him a kid to reckon with - as he proved again and again in the stories he created for EC's legendary 'New Trend' comics, in particular Weird Science and Weird Fantasy.As a result of Williamson's focus, all of Williamson's New Trend' EC work has been compiled into one epic book. 50 Girls 50 features three of EC's legendary Ray Bradbury adaptations.'

“"[Williamson] loved adventure, with impossibly beautiful women and virile men, musculature and erotically taut flesh on display. He was perfect for the EC sci-fi series, perhaps because the extremity of surviving outer space and planets with weird monsters put these perfect human specimens on display. But there's something else: some of the most telling EC stories of this kind are not set in outer space at all, but in humanity's struggle for survival in the aftermath of atomic war."”
