This is issue #9 of Weird Science, an EC Comics science-fiction title from the 1950s. The cover is branded 'Objectionable 1950s EC Comics!' and features the tagline 'Incredible Science-Fiction Stories!' The striking cover art, signed by Wood (Wally Wood), depicts USAF fighter jets engaged in aerial combat as viewed through a portal surrounded by alien machinery and strange creatures. The cover lists a price of $2.00 ($2.75 Canada), suggesting this is a reprint edition rather than an original 1950s pressing. Published under EC's Entertaining Comics imprint, Weird Science is a celebrated anthology title beloved by collectors of vintage science-fiction comics. The Fantasy banner appears along the left spine. A great piece for fans of classic EC Comics and golden-age science-fiction illustration.
