Hal Robins
EC parody cover by Hal Robins (colors by Guy Colwell) from Rip Off Comix #23, published by Rip Off Press, Summer 1989.
Dr. Hal shares his belated reflections on the death of stop-motion animation wizard, Ray Harryhausen.
Dr. Hal reflects on firearms in the USA. He starts with the famous quote from A. E. van Vogt's The Weapon Shops of Isher (1951). It's worth remembering that van Vogt's fantastical weapons would fire only in self-defense (or, significantly, suicide) and could not under any circumstances be resold. A far remove from contemporary firearms.
