Just put Ray Bradbury and EC Comics into Google and you'll get the story - generally from a more primary source (though not always, and it's good to find a secondary source to reinforce the first one you find). So MUCH of this info is out there that we don't really have to be unsure of our own history any more. As "historians" comic fans, frankly, have sucked for most of the existence of fandom. Now we just need to refer to the reference material more often.

It'd frustrating for me to admit that I was actually in the audience several years ago at the San Diego Comic-Con when both Ray Bradbury and one of the EC artists were together on stage discussing their firsthand accounts of those "unauthorized" comic adaptations... but now my own memory of the details they shared are already growing fuzzy! (I hadn't yet taken an interest in the Golden Age comics history at this point, so I wasn't paying as careful attention as I would have otherwise. Nor did I take notes or record the panels, like I do now at the shows I attend.)

JVJ (RIP):
It might have been the 2000 EC Reunion Con, Kevin,
I was at that con, but not the panel. I actually attended the special reunion banquet (the ONLY SDCC banquet I EVER attended) and sat at a table with Angelo Torres, Sheldon Moldoff and George Woodbridge. What a night.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

That sounds like quite an event! I'm envious.

No, the panel I was thinking of was one of the San Diego Con's ongoing Ray Bradbury spotlight panels. This particular one had Bradbury on stage sharing anecdotes from his past, and the moderator would then call out various surprise guests to join him on stage -- one of which was an artist friend from the EC comics days. I don't remember the year. It was after the 2000 convention, but before the comic-con.org website began archiving the programming schedules of past shows, so I can't look it up easily. (Hmm. I think I have my old convention program guides somewhere in my garage. Perhaps I'll find them sometime next month as I'm packing up to move to my new apartment...)
