From what I saw in the Weird Science Archive, most of the EC artists just don't stack up with the top DC artists of the 1950s - Carmine Infantino, Gil Kane, Murphy Anderson, Alex Toth (and they did a lot of sci-fi for DC), and some others.

The writing I admit, was good to excellent (and this may be the only aspect to encourage me to buy future volumes), but having heard over the years what a great artist Harvey Kurtzman is, I was shocked at how crude it was when I finally saw some samples of his work - talk about the emperor's new clothes!

Sorry to disagree with you guys.
