Description

Stories in this volume include The Martian Monster, in which a 9-year-old boy befriends a Martian in the woods and asks him to kill his stepmother — but the "Martian" convinces him that it’s really his father who he should target.

There’s sharp social commentary in …And Then There Were Two! (highly intelligent robots unveil a plan for world peace, but political opportunists launch an anti-robot campaign to discredit them) and Prediction of Disaster! (an astronomer concludes that our sun is about to go nova and tries to warn the world).

About the Author

The Brooklyn-born Jack Kamen (1920-2008) began his career as a pulp illustrator and spent his last professional decades as an illustrator, but is best remembered for his half-decade at EC (and his 1982 contributions to the EC-inspired movie Creepshow).

Albert B. Feldstein (1925-2014) was an American writer, editor, and artist, best known for his work at EC Comics (particularly in the science fiction genre) and, from 1956 to1985, as the editor of the satirical magazine Mad.
