EC Classics #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the complete run of EC Comics' short-lived but influential Weird Science-Fantasy series, which merged the publisher's science fiction and fantasy titles into a single anthology. Featuring the work of legendary artists like Al Feldstein, Wally Wood, and Joe Orlando, these stories showcase EC's signature twist endings and socially conscious themes wrapped in imaginative, often macabre tales of space, time, and the supernatural. As part of Russ Cochran's EC Classics line, this edition presents the material in high-quality black-and-white reproductions, preserving the original comic book experience for collectors and new readers alike.
In "The Children," a haunting tale from EC Classics #7 (1986), a captain and his crew land on a planet whose surface resembles green felt—only to be swallowed whole and expelled like vomit from its interior. Written by Harlan Ellison and Al Feldstein, with striking art by Al Williamson and inks by Roy Krenkel, the story delivers a chilling twist that forces the crew to confront their deepest assumptions about evolution. The cover, by Wally Wood, captures the eerie, otherworldly dread of the tale.

A Captain and his crew land on a weird planet whose surface was like green felt......a planet that swallowed the ship and crew, then spewed them out of its interior.....like vomit. As the ship took off, the whole crew had the answer to a concern that they all had been arguing about: that, even though they thought man was the highest form of evolutionary structure, they had just been proven wrong.....by the planet itself!
