Weird Fantasy #13 is easily one of the top collectibles from the heyday of EC comics. The issue boasts one of the most classic covers from EC's sci-fi titles, along with great stories, unforgettable art, and a blatant act of plagiarism! All four of the classic sci-fi stories here contain horrific elements. In the case of "Home to Stay," however, Wally Wood provided great illustrations for a disturbing tale that was clearly stolen from Ray Bradbury's work.
Fortunately, Bradbury was willing to give publisher Bill Gaines a gracious way out of a lawsuit. The next issue featured letters from outraged Bradbury fans pointing out the thievery, with Gaines declaring that EC's "experiment" with publishing an unattributed Bradbury adaptation was a clear success. After that, Bradbury's stories became a regular presence in EC's sci-fi books.
"Home to Stay" may have stood out, but Wally Wood also got to illustrate "The End" as an actual original story by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein. That classic time-travel tale is matched by the chilling climax of "The Trip" and the alien invasion of "Don't Count Your Chickens" for one of the most beloved books in pre-Code publishing.
