DescriptionBernie Krigstein’s name has certainly gained recognition in recent months with the recent sale of the original art from ‘Master Race’. Having lost out on that, I had to focus elsewhere for an example :)This is the last page from the 6-page story entitled ‘The Pioneer’ from the 24th issue (June 1954) of EC’s Weird-Science Fantasy. ‘The Pioneer’ tells the story of Professor Alec Latham, whose ‘name is a by-word in the field of rocket research’. I won’t spoil the story by giving anything away, but it’s nicely done with an EC twist at the end – and it’s a lovely example of Krigstein’s artistic skills. Weird Science-Fantasy was the successor title to Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, both of which were published for 22 issues, but then canceled and merged into a single title. The first issue, Weird Science-Fantasy #23, was released in March 1954. Weird Science-Fantasy #29 (May-June 1955) was the final issue, after which it changed titles again to Incredible Science Fiction for four more issues. Special thanks to DC for making it happen!

This is a moody and sophisticated example of Krigstein's brilliant story telling ability... a home run pick up for a museum quality collection!

Terrific Page! If ya can't get 'Master Race', this ain't too bad a consolation prize.

One of the more underrated of EC's artists. A really wonderful example. Congrats!
