Happy Halloween with Al Feldstein Monday

In honour of All Hallow's Eve I am taking a break from finishing up the last five posts to bring all my fellow fright fans out there another EC Comics tribute, this one focusing on one of the most visible and at the same time one of the most underrated artists of EC Comics Al Feldstein.

As a big fan of EC Comics I´ve done a number of posts on the subject : I did a special black and white tribute post to William Gaines in 2017 with two full stories, one by Johnny Craig and one by George Evans, in 2018 I did two posts, one for the horror books and one for the other titles EC published and I also did special spotlight posts for Jack Davis and a black and white post with the complete original artwork of the story And All Throughout The House by Johnny Craig from THE VAULT OF HORROR 35.

I didn´t write any EC Comics posts in 2019 but in 2020 I wrote a post in honor of the late William Gaines with stories by Johnny Craig, Graham " Ghastly " Ingels and Joe Orlando - who got a spotlight post - as well as one in tribute to the late Bernie Krigstein and two about Johnny Craig .

And back in March 2021 we had the obligatory William Gaines tribute .

Besides publishing the best comic in the genre of horror, science fiction, war, crime fiction and many others ( which every comic fan or comic book creator worth his salt needs to read to understand what you can do within the medium ) he also created a whole new genre with the creation of Mad magazine when his competitors, censorship and the Comics Code Authority forced him to cancel his most successful titles.

One of the artists who got the famous MAD Magazine off the ground and running with Harvey Kurtzman was Will Elder and if you are interested in comic history, good satire comic magazines or just good art you should check out those early issues - you can read my spotlight post on him .

Now besides being a master at cartooning and bringing slapstick humor to the printed page Will Elder was very adept at depicting the female form which probably was a very big factor in MAD´s rise in popularity.

Will Elder´s faible for drawing sexy women was also the reason why Harvey Kutzman chose him to bring one of his most famous creations to life : PLAYBOY´s LITTLE ANNIE FANNY, a spoof on LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE.

So, coming back to the topic of this post and Al Feldstein you might ask why I chose him and the answer is more that I didn't chose him it was the other way around. I don't know if I already mentioned this in any of my new posts but my laptop seems to have finally left his mortal coil which means that for the time being I have lost my entire picture archive. And yes, that includes everything from EC Comics. Which makes you probably wonder how I am able to make this post. Well, I'm really glad you asked.

As I explained - probably ad nauseum so my regular followers are already bored about it - when I'm writing my posts I do a lot of research - cross the dots to make sure everything I write is correct - and I find a lot of pictures that way. Which more often then not end up in spin - off posts.

Well, Yesterday I was working on my post about all natural 34E ( !!! ) - 24 - 34 bikinin beach body par excellence Hannah Palmer and looking for some new pictures to add about canadian 38C - 24 - 34 Cylon nympho sex bot Tricia Helfer but mostly korean 38B - 25 - 35 knockout Grace Park - who both appeared on the new revamped Battlestar Galactica tv show.

One of the things that always bugged me on Battlestar Galactica was the idea that the humans created the cylons. Although it would explain why two of the models were hot sexbombs like Tricia Helfer and Grace Park.

On the other side the cylons would never had to go to war against the humans because if you have an unlimited amount of copies of Tricia Helfer and Grace Park there is no male who can resist you. I guess those toasters were still lacking in basic knowledge about us horny humans.

Because there is an episode of Third Rock From The Sun where they try to gain control of the world´s governments by sending in a squad of women who all look like bikini models and when you have seen this episode and know that the toasters on Galactica have hot models like Tricia Helfer and Grace Park it makes the war against humanity and death to humans and violence thing seem unnecessary and over the top.
