Published February 1956
Cover by Wallace Wood. Stories by Jack Oleck and Al Feldstein. Art by Wally Wood, Jack Davis, Bernie Krigstein, Angelo Torres, and Joe Orlando. EC Comics changes its pioneering sci-fi title Weird Science-Fantasy to the Code-approved Incredible Science Fiction. A would-be space explorer and his brother learn one of the harsh realities of life in space, with art by Bernie Krigstein. A post-apocalyptic tale with art by Wally Wood, his last science fiction story for EC. And the final story is the Judgment Day, a robot parable about prejudice. Censorship struggles over this famous story proved the last straw for Bill Gaines’ relationship with the Comics Code, and EC’s comics publishing altogether. Typically great, densely detailed space-machinery cover by Wally Wood. Big Moment; Kaleidoscope; One Way Hero; Judgment Day! Final issue of the series, and the final comic-sized publication of the classic EC era; they only published MAD magazines and by-products after this. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
