{"product_id":"the-spawn-of-venus-and-other-stories","title":"THE SPAWN OF VENUS AND OTHER STORIES","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis mouth-watering collection of 26 stories features the finest (and rarest!) science fiction stories \u003cstrong\u003eWallace Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e ever drew -- more than two dozen! Wood's meticulously detailed, genre-defining brushwork introduces you to breathtaking planetary vistas, terrifying aliens, and sleek rocket ships surging with the power to conquer the stars. Our title story is a rarity that never appeared in any EC comic. Written and drawn for a 3-D comic that was canceled before it could be printed, it's here in easy-on-the-eyes 2-D. Wood's most iconic story, \"My World\", is a stunning showcase of the preternatural talent and technique he brought to all his stories. Also included is his trilogy of \u003cstrong\u003eRay Bradbury\u003c\/strong\u003e adaptations -- \"Home to Stay,\" \"There Will Come Soft Rains…\" and \"Mars Is Heaven!\" -- plus \"He Walked Among Us,\" a \"what if…?\" variation on Bradbury's \"The Man\" from \u003cem\u003eThe Illustrated Man\u003c\/em\u003e.\n\nBut that's not all! An incredible science fiction bonus: \u003cstrong\u003eAl Feldstein\u003c\/strong\u003e wrote many stories of people reaching from the beyond to right a wrong, but with this volume, in a twist worthy of the best of EC, he does the same himself! In 1955, the Comics Code rejected the second page of \"You, Rocket\" and forced EC to completely rewrite and redraw it. When the original art for that rejected page was rediscovered, one panel was missing. But Feldstein, in a middle-finger to the Code and its heavy-handed censorship, wrote a new panel, restoring \"You, Rocket\" to what it was always meant to be. Sadly, he passed away before his final EC writing assignment was published. But here it is now, for the first time anywhere. Justice from beyond the grave.\n\nMost stories scripted by EC legend \u003cstrong\u003eAl Feldstein\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also by \u003cstrong\u003eOtto Binder, Jack Oleck \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eRay Bradbury. \u003c\/strong\u003ePlus in-depth commentary by EC experts \u003cstrong\u003eThommy Burns, Grant Geissman\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eJon Gothold\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cem\u003eThe Spawn Of Venus And Other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e is the ultimate EC Wallace Wood science fiction collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Image Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643567374622,"sku":"SPAWVH","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/spawvh-the-spawn-of-venus-and-other-stories-book.jpg?v=1784516718","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/the-spawn-of-venus-and-other-stories","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
