Weird Science #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "It Was a Monster from the Fourth Dimension," Harvey Kurtzman crafts a haunting tale of devotion and the uncanny, following an elderly man whose deep bond with his Model-T becomes something far beyond ordinary. When the car, seemingly alive with purpose, begins haunting his brother-in-law after Gregory's passing, the line between love and obsession blurs in ways no one can explain. The story, illustrated with Kurtzman’s precise, expressive art and lettered by Ben Oda, is a standout in EC’s legendary Weird Science series, with a cover by Al Feldstein that captures its eerie, melancholic tone.
A quiet dairy farmer finds his life upended by a mysterious, pulsating blob that drifts through his fields and home. When his brother, a scientist, steps in to investigate, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the creature isn’t from this world, but from a dimension beyond space and time. With a desperate plan to stop it, he builds a machine to cross into the fourth dimension—knowing the journey may cost him everything.
In "Something Missing!" from Weird Science #7 (1951), a brilliant scientist pushes the limits of his revolutionary Physio-Chemical Decomposer and Re-Aligner, only to face a horrifying consequence when his assistant is transformed into a statue—then shattered by his jealous wife. As he races to restore her from the broken fragments, a single missing piece leads to a terrifying, incomplete rebirth.
In a quiet boarding house, a man named Gregory Gearshift lived a life deeply tied to his beloved Model-T—a car he cherished as if it were alive. After his passing, his sister sold his belongings to cover medical costs, including the car, which was bought by his brother-in-law, Sheldon. But the car never stayed still, haunting Sheldon with its relentless pursuit. When the Model-T finally vanished, it left behind only a trail of mystery—and a story that lingers long after the engine stops.
In a twist of cosmic misunderstanding, two alien crews from the second and fourth planets collide on the third—misinterpreting each other’s signals as aggression. As tensions flare and mistrust takes hold, the crews retreat to their homeworlds, convinced that the inhabitants of the third planet must be destroyed before they can threaten their own peace. The fate of that world hangs in the balance, caught between two civilizations that never truly saw one another.
