"F.C. ALJON" was a pen-name used by Al Feldstein (pencils) and Johnny Craig (inks) working in collaboration.
AL FELDSTEIN (b. 1925) began working at the Jerry Eiger shop in 1941, with his work appearing in comics from such publishers as Fiction House, Quality, and Fox. After serving in the Air Force in WWII, he signed on with EC in 1947, and soon became one of the company's most prolific contributors, drawing and especially writing hundreds and hundreds of stories in the '50s. He stayed with EC until his retirement in 1985.
JOHNNY CRAIG (1926 - 2001) was one of the primary artists for EC Comics, drawing many stories and many, many covers, primarily in the horror titles. He started his career assisting Harry Lampert, and later worked with Sheldon Mayer on "Scribbly." After returning home from the war, he applied for work with Entertaining Comics, and the rest is history.
This complete original 9-page story art from Crime Patrol #13, entitled "Edna Sunday," published by EC in 1949. The image area for all pages measures 13" x 18" and the art is in Very Good condition.
