{"product_id":"50-girls-50-and-other-stories-hardcover","title":"50 Girls 50 and Other Stories - Hardcover","description":"Barely old enough to drink when he joined the EC Comics stable, Al Williamson may have been the new kid on the block, but a lifetime of studying such classic adventure cartoonists as Alex Raymond (\u003cem\u003eFlash Gordon\u003c\/em\u003e) and Hal Foster (\u003cem\u003ePrince Valiant\u003c\/em\u003e) 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 \u003cem\u003eWeird Science\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWeird Fantasy\u003c\/em\u003e. As a result of Williamson's focus, it's possible to compile all of Williamson's \"New Trend\" EC work into one book -- which Fantagraphics is finally doing here. Sci-fi aficionados should note that although most of the stories were written by Al Feldstein, \u003cem\u003e50 Girls 50\u003c\/em\u003e features three of EC's legendary Ray Bradbury adaptations, including \"I, Rocket\" and \"A Sound of Thunder\" -- and a unique curiosity, a strip adapted from a short story submitted by a teenage Harlan Ellison. Williamson ran with a gang of like-minded young Turks dubbed the \"Fleagle Gang,\" who would help one another out on assignments. Thus this book includes three stories upon which Williamson was joined by the legendary Frank Frazetta, and one story (\"Food for Thought\") where Roy Krenkel provided his exquisite alien landscapes, to make it one of the most gorgeous EC stories ever printed. As a supplementary bonus, \u003cem\u003e50 Girls 50\u003c\/em\u003e includes three stories drawn by Fleagles sans Williamson: Frazetta's \u003cem\u003eShock SuspenStories\u003c\/em\u003e short \"Squeeze Play\"; Krenkel's meticulous \"Time to Leave\"; and Angelo Torres's \"An Eye for an Eye,\" an EC story that famously fell prey to censorship and was not released until the 1970s. As with other Fantagraphics EC titles, \u003cem\u003e50 Girls 50\u003c\/em\u003e will also include extensive story notes by EC experts.","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46583770349724,"sku":"9781606995778","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7616\/7324\/files\/9781606995778.jpg?v=1774477281","url":"https:\/\/bronzeandbrass.store\/products\/50-girls-50-and-other-stories-hardcover","provider":"Bronze \u0026 Brass","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
