#16 Mass Meeting
#16 Mass Meeting
Published November 1952
Al Feldstein classic outer space cover. “Mass Meeting” (art by Joe Orlando), “Skeleton Key” (art by Al Williamson), “What He Saw” (art by Jack Kamen), and “The Green Thing” (art by Orlando). The letters page comments on EC’s Ray Bradbury adaptations with a disingenuous implication that the author approved them from the beginning. As is well-known now, Feldstein swiped the stories without authorization, but Bradbury called them on it, and soon an agreement was worked out in which EC paid Bradbury for the adaptations. NOTE: There are two issues in this series numbered 16. The one dated Nov-Dec 1950 is issue # 4 in the series. The issue pictured here, dated Nov-Dec 1952, is the actual # 16 in the series. Cover price $0.10.
