Helmut had been expecting the Avon lady, or maybe Jehovah's Witnesses…. but when he opened the door, he realised that tonight was going to be a triple-podder!

I really like the art on the covers of Planet Comics. They were most likely done by Joe Doolin. But I absolutely love the covers on Strange Worlds. They were the combined effort of Wally Wood and Joe Orlando, both of whom were artists for EC Comics in the early 1950's. I added covers for Weird Science, Weird Fantasy and Weird Science-Fantasy to the "Adventures Into Weird Worlds" thread. The Weird Science cover is by Wally Wood, the Weird Fantasy cover is by Frank Frazetta and the Weird Science-Fantasy cover is by Al Williamson. All are well known artists and IMHO this is some of their best work.

Those would make a great screen saver.
