“One Kind of Husband...Two Kinds of Underwear”

In "One Kind of Husband...Two Kinds of Underwear," Al Jaffee's sharp wit and Wallace Wood's precise art bring a delightfully absurd twist to the idea of space travel's psychological toll, as researchers stumble upon a far more peculiar challenge than expected. With Kelly Freas’s surreal cover capturing the story’s offbeat tone, this 1959 EC classic delivers a clever, off-the-wall satire in just a few pages.
