A few posts back, I just put up the panel "Choke!...", and after a coupla great comments from our viewers, I thought I should show where that panel was Borne
"Weird Fantasy" was a comic book series published by EC Comics in the early 1950s. EC Comics, under the guidance of editor Al Feldstein and publisher William Gaines, was known for its line of horror, crime, science fiction, and fantasy comics. "Weird Fantasy" was part of EC's science fiction titles. "Weird Fantasy" featured stories with imaginative and speculative themes, often exploring the realms of science fiction, fantasy, and the supernatural. The series is notable for its high-quality storytelling and artwork, with contributions from talented creators like Al Feldstein, Wally Wood, Joe Orlando, and others. The comic gained popularity for its thought-provoking and socially relevant stories, but it, along with other EC Comics titles, faced controversy due to the content and the wider concerns about the impact of comic books on young readers. The series eventually came to an end in the mid-1950s, as EC Comics shifted its focus in response to the changing landscape of the comic book industry and the implementation of the Comics Code Authority. When the poor sales became too much to handle, Weird Fantasy combined with companion comic Weird Science in 1954 to become Weird Science-Fantasy. Despite its relatively short run, "Weird Fantasy" is remembered as a significant and influential part of comic book history. * File type(s): CBZ.

Anyone would agree, Archie comics are a fairly wholesome, squeaky clean read. They’re fun for a laugh, but would never offer anything edgy or risqué, right? Think again
Artist Al Columbia's (featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 15) credits in the illustration and comic book worlds are extensive — he has been published in high profile publications like The New York Times and The Believer, illustrated for underground weeklies and comic anthologies and released numerous acclaimed books of his own (such as Doghead and The Biologic Show). Columbia recently sent Hi-Fructose some exclusive new paintings that continue the story of two of his signature characters, Pim and Francie. “...I guess, these paintings I've sent you, and others I have been working on just sort of happened randomly over the past few years while I worked on other projects,” Al told the editors.

EC's March-April 1953 issue of Weird Fantasy includes a 7-page story titled "Judgment Day", written by Al Feldstein, drawn and inked by Joe Orlando, and colored by Marie Severin. EC subsequently reprinted the story in Incredible Science Fiction 33 (Jan-Feb 1956) to fill in for an Angelo Torres alien planet jungle story that was rejected by the Code. This (in my opinion) masterpiece of graphic storytelling takes the reader to a future other-world setting, in which humans have advanced beyond the solar system and out into the stars. This planet is one they have seeded with an artificial life form, and a representative of the human race, Tarlton, arrives to inspect the society that has evolved, to see if it is ready to join the Galactic Republic. As Tarlton is shown round, Feldstein uses the scenario as an allegory of the segregated society prevalent in the United States at that time. There are orange and blue robots, and facilities are designated accordingly. The blue robots are the ones that live on the other side of the tracks, and are denied the privileges accorded to the orange robots. Tarlton sees what he needs to see, and points out the flaws in the status quo that have developed in this civilization, citing these as the reason that this robot society is not yet qualified to move to a higher level of existence. The scene in the assembly plant is particularly poignant. That panel on page 6, where Tarlton likens the 'educator' to the family, environment, and societal institutions on Earth that condition a young person to look upon themselves and their relationship with the rest of society in a particular way, is stuff we teach undergraduates and graduates in 'Human Behavior and the Social Environment'. Who says EC didn't really mean Educational Comics!? I'll let the story say the rest for itself. Again, though, this is EC making a bold statement against the situation that existed in society at that time due to the derailing of the intent of Emancipation Proclamation. The class prejudiced and racist structures in society that impose unequal opportunity for the poor, amongst whom minority groups, including African Americans, are over-represented, remain somewhat effective today, despite official desegregation. And while many, many more people today, especially young people, are free of the attitudes that support this inequality, they may not be the ones with the economic power to effect deep changes to the institutional racism that is still embedded in our society. That said, I don't want to lose sight of the fact that the United States remains arguably the most advanced nation in addressing and overcoming this problem. We have what appears to be the most diverse society on Earth, and so problems like this have come to the fore first in our country. I'd say that where the US has trodden, others have yet to follow. Observe the inter-racial violence that has been erupting recently on the streets of the UK. Other countries in Europe have also been experiencing huge influxes of immigrants from their old colonies, and there are massive adjustment problems as a result. This EC story may have been revolutionary for America in 1953, but the fact that it existed here at all says a lot. I don't think there is anything even nearly equivalent to this in early 1950s British comics (although I would welcome correction on this point) - Britain was still a virtually monochrome society in 1953 and so was barely beginning to address the issue of racial integration. Demeaning images of non-whites were acceptable, perhaps not even thought about then as inappropriate. When I was a kid in England, golliwogs were standard in children's books, as toys, and even as collectible figures behind the label on your jar of marmalade. So putting it in perspective, it was that constitutional principle of freedom that allowed EC to publish this story in the first place (and why one can argue that the Comics Code was kind of unconstitutional), even though the climate of the times may not have been very much in tune with EC's stance on segregation and racism. But because reformers are allowed to speak out, change can eventually occur, and hopefully we haven't lost sight of that. I wonder if I'll live to see the time that Earth is ready for it's 'judgment day'. Good old EC with that last panel punch! Note: my eternal thanks to Joshua Thirteen for the scans that facilitated the composition of this post.Thanks also to Aaron, The Ghost Who Blogs, for so liberally sharing his extensive knowledge of comics and pointing me in the direction of this story to help me out with my project.
