SUNDAY FUNNIES!! Al Feldstein Shocking Story

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.
