Weird Fantasy #16 Complete 7-Page Story "Mysterious Ray" (EC, 1950)

Some 20 years have passed since such a Kurtzman science-fiction gem has appeared here. The namesake of the Harvey Awards was not only essential to the EC brand, but also a seminal creator - especially in the realms of SF, the MAD school of humor, and combinations thereof. The present story is a study in irony, structured like a good joke but with a cosmic payoff... the nearly trade-marked "EC Twist" ending. Kurtzman's turn-key art is essential to a definition of the EC style.
