@djjd62,

My brother will be sad to hear this. As a kid, he too was a big fan of the magazine's early days.

What, me worry!?!?

I used to tell my brother he looked like Alfred E. Newman's twin. Then, he'd pound me into the ground, if he could catch me. Mr. Green

My late brother still had Weird Science, the edition with The Sound of Thunder, saved from childhood. He had the reprint collections of EC, also.

@edgarblythe,

nice, Bradbury had quite a legacy out side his books, Feldstein and Serling loved his stories

I had just discovered Bradbury about the time we got that comic.

@edgarblythe,

Dandelion Wine is still one of my top ten novels. October County, Something Wicked This Way Come, Illustrated Man, R is for Rocket, Martian Chronicles ... all of them are good.
