Not only did EC publish MAD, War, and Horror comics, it also published Sci Fi comics. Most were scripted by publisher William Gaines and/or his working buddy Al Feldstein. I say "scripted" because "by" may be untrue. Gaines said they stole many of their stores, like some from Ray Bradbury and so on. "Everybody was doing it" Gaines said. In fact, Ray Bradbury caught them using his material and wrote them asking for royalties. Then Gaines and Bradbury developed a wonderful professional relationship.
Art by Will Elder and John Severin (2 of the 4 original MAD artists).
