Les Meilleures Histoires de... #[2]

A French treasury of EC Comics science-fiction greatness, this 1983 Les Humanoïdes Associés collection showcases work by Wood, Kamen, Williamson, Orlando, and Frazetta — a remarkable lineup of golden-age sci-fi talent gathered under one cover. That cover, rendered by Wally Wood, sets the mood perfectly: a massive flying saucer looms overhead while two figures scramble across a rugged alien landscape, with an unsettling extraterrestrial face peering from the shadows to the right. It's a wonderfully evocative piece that captures everything thrilling about EC's brand of imaginative, slightly eerie science fiction.
