There is also a checklist of Angelo's comics work. What an issue!\n\nTorres frequently helped Al Williamson to make deadlines at EC and also at Atlas. His work shows the influences of both Frazetta and Williamson. As a young collector in the sixties, my buddies and I were all looking for Angel's work in all the old Atlas titles, before the price guide or any checklists. Just like we looked for Williamson, Wood, Frazetta and even Sid Check, we flipped through comic after comic watching for the hidden gems. Torres is one of the best.\n\nAngelo did yet another \u003cstrong\u003eWhat-If \u003c\/strong\u003ecover for EC's \u003cem\u003eIncredible Science-Fiction.\u003c\/em\u003e It is reproduced in color as the bookplate that author Grant Geissman did for us to go with our copies of \u003cem\u003eThe History of EC Comics\u003c\/em\u003e, which is still available from us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TwoMorrows Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59641377358110,"sku":"AE186","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/ae186-alter-ego-vol-86.jpg?v=1784504584","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/alter-ego-186-angelo-torres","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
