Official synopsis Publisher
All of the creator of Mad magazine’s rarely seen EC science fiction comics stories in a single volume! These stories ― all drawn by Kurtzman, some of which he also wrote ― are from the pages of Weird Science, Weird Fantasy, Tales from the Crypt, and more. With Al Feldstein, Kurtzman created “Lost in the Microcosm,” “The Man Who Raced Time,” and “Atom Bomb Thief.” There’s also “The Radioactive Child,” “The Last War on Earth,” and the titular story, a cautionary tale about how the laws of physics would impact a real-world superhero, delivered in a uniquely bold, slashing cartoony-but-dead-serious style.
