Zero Hour and Other Stories

With his wholesome approach, Jack Kamen stood out amongst the grunge, gritty realism or futuristic dazzle of his fellow EC cartoonists - but his brilliant editor/writer Al Feldstein found a way to exploit the surface innocence of his style with seemingly nice stories of romance gone horribly wrong, or future fantasies with an unexpectedly brutal twist. Fantagraphics reprints 22 of their classic sci-fi yarns from the EC Comics Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, with biographical, historical and critical essays to support the original material.
