Weird Science

Joe Orlando hit his stride on this highly detailed 1952 title splash page, from the story titled: "They Shall Inherit" This great page features a classic 1950's RADIATION STORY, as the sirens go off and men run screaming because of a severe radiation leak! At Wally Wood's suggestion Joe Orlando applied for work at EC and soon he was contributing to their Sci-Fi, horror, and suspense titles in a style that was heavily influenced by Wood. William Gaines and Al Feldstein were thrilled. They felt they now had "two Woods." As Steve Duin and Mike Richardson's book Comics Between the Panels recounts, "The first time EC asked Orlando to prove he could ink like his old buddy, he almost died. 'But they liked it,' he said. 'I was surprised. It went on from there. I even tried to break away from Wally Wood.'" The image area is 13" x 18". Panel one was drawn on beautiful Craftint Duotone paper, and tipped into the page (with tape on the back), but the art we see on the front looks GREAT! ALL HIGH end pieces of art, including this one, are able to be purchased with VERY fair time payment plan options, and trades are always considered towards this and "ANY" art on our website! Just send us an email to mikeburkey@aol.com and we can try to work something out.
