The Planetoid and Other Stories

    (Fantagraphics, 2023)

Joe Orlando partnered with Wallace Wood on a variety of science fiction stories for EC Comics. The Planetoid And Other Stories collects his first two dozen. All of them, scripted by editor/writer Al Feldstein, serve up classic O. Henry-style shock endings. This volume also includes a complete reproduction of EC’s own 32-page 'illustrated, factual flying saucer report,' with art by Orlando, Wallace Wood, George Evans, and Reed Crandall. Plus, a foreword by former DC publisher Paul Levitz, an introduction by Thommy Burns and featured essays and commentary by EC experts.
