A bit more Bradbury from Evanier: he tells the story of the first time Bradbury ever met Al Feldstein, the writer who famously adapted his short stories at EC Comics back in the 1950's.
A bit of background first; Evanier goes over this part of the story a couple times but I prefer the more-complete version as given in
Comic Book Legends Revealed.
EC first adapted two of Bradbury's short stories without his permission. Bradbury, on finding out, sent them a letter saying,
Just a note to remind you of an oversight. You have not as yet sent on the check for $50.00 to cover the use of secondary rights on my two stories THE ROCKET MAN and KALEIDOSCOPE…I feel this was probably overlooked in the general confusion of office work, and look forward to your payment in the near future.
Gaines sent him the $50 and, after that, Bradbury gave them permission to adapt more of his stories (and stick his name prominently on the cover). It's one of my favorite stories of Bradbury responding with humor and creating a solution that worked out well for everybody, when he had every right to call a lawyer instead.
Anyhow, Bradbury corresponded a bit with Gaines but never with Feldstein, and they didn't meet until 2002, at a Comic-Con panel that also included Evanier and legendary DC editor/Bradbury's former agent Julie Schwartz.
Evanier tells the story in four parts:
1 2 3 4. Well worth reading all four, as well as that Legends Revealed post as an introduction. There's also a
Who's Who post identifying everyone in the photo at the top of Part 2.
