THE GREEN THING!

While not a faithful adaptation of Campbell's "Who Goes There?", this story from EC's WEIRD FANTASY#16 (November-December 1952) is considered to be influenced by it. The story is by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein and the art is by Joe Orlando.

Publisher: Bill Gaines

Editor: Al Feldstein

Cover: Reed Crandall

Pages: 60

Cover price: 25 cents

The cover title read "Adult Tales of Terror Illustrated" but shortened up on the indicia for this first of another bold experiment by Bill Gaines. This was printed in a magazine-size format to skirt the Comics Code Authority which had seized censorship power over the comic book industry the previous year. A part of the "picto-fiction" line, it lasted for only two issues; a third was prepped but not printed because EC's distributor went bankrupt. You can get the reprinted collection, including the unpublished third issue at many of the usual sources including HERE.
