COVER ART: Al Feldstein
Al Feldstein died last Tuesday. I mentioned the next day on this blog how he
and publisher Bill Gaines collaborated an average of a story a day, but some
they admitted was stolen. For instance
Ray Bradbury saw a story he did in one of their sci-fi comics and wrote Bill
Gaines congratulating him for picking the right comicbook artist for the story
and he also asked for a royalty check.
Which they promptly got his permission to use more of this stories.
Besides being a comicbook writer, co-collaborator, and
editor, he was also a comicbook artist.
That is why Bill Gaines hired him, as a comic book artist. But when talking they discovered each were
sci-fi fans, so a new breed of comicbook appeared.
On TALES FROM THE CRYPT #5 Al Feldstein illustrated the
cover and also the cover story. Which is
here.
