Tomorrow Midnight
''Tomorrow Midnight'' is a mass-market paperback collection of comic adaptations of eight short science fiction stories by Ray Bradbury, gathered from the pages of the EC Comics comic books of the 1950s. It is one of five EC collections published by Ballantine Books between 1964 and 1966 (the others are ''Tales from the Crypt'', '' The Vault of Horror'', '' Tales of the Incredible'' and ''The Autumn People''), and one of two made up of comic adaptations of Bradbury's work (the other is ''The Autumn People'').

Still, the collections are historically important. They were the first attempt to resurrect the EC comics, only a decade after public outcry had driven them off the racks. They were the first introduction of those comics to a generation of readers too young to remember them in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
