Weird Fantasy #14

In "The Exile!", a 1952 EC Comics gem, a brilliant scientist’s breakthrough in rocket fuel leads to a daring interplanetary journey—only to land him stranded on Venus, where his claim of being from Earth earns him a cell in a psychiatric ward. With art by Al Williamson, Roy Krenkel, and Frank Frazetta, and inks by the same trio, this issue pulses with the eerie wonder of early science fiction, all under the sharp storytelling of Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein. The cover, by Al Feldstein, captures the moment of alien isolation with haunting precision.
