Fantagraphics has announced this month’s release of Home to Stay!: The Complete Ray Bradbury EC Stories, a collection of all 28 classic Ray Bradbury stories adapted by EC Comics between 1951 and 1954, brought together for the very first time in one single volume.
Written by Al Feldstein, with artwork from all of EC’s top artists – including Johnny Craig, Reed Crandall, Jack Davis, Will Elder, George Evans, Frank Frazetta, Graham Ingels, Jack Kamen, Bernard Krigstein, Joe Orlando, John Severin, Angelo Torres, Al Williamson, and Wallace Wood – the collection includes:
-
“Home to Stay”— a clever combination of two Bradbury science fiction stories that Bradbury himself proclaimed topped his originals (available in no other form or medium), masterfully woven together by Al Feldstein and Wallace Wood.
-
“A Sound of Thunder” — the classic time-travel-gone-wrong story brilliantly illustrated by Al Williamson and Angelo Torres.
-
“Touch and Go” — an obsessive psychological thriller tautly executed by Johnny Craig.
-
And many more, including “The Million Year Picnic” (Elder), “I, Rocket” (Williamson and Frazetta), “Zero Hour” (Kamen), “Mars Is Heaven” (Wood), and “There Will Come Soft Rains…” (Wood). Plus three bonus stories inspired by other Bradbury tales!

Home to Stay!: The Complete Ray Bradbury EC Stories will release on October 25th.
