Zero Hour and Other Stories by Jack KamenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Zero Hour and Other Stories collects 26 science fiction stories illustrated by Jack Kamen.
The father of the guy who invented the Segway is back in this collection of poetic justice themed science fiction tales. Al Feldstein, Jack Oleck, and the legendary Ray Bradbury supply the stories and Jack Kamen serves up the beautiful people and crazy gizmos.
I've said before that Jack Kamen isn't in my EC top 5 but he's still a power player. There some memorable tales within this collection, like Zero Hour and A Lesson in Anatomy. There are also some great parallel universe stories like Planely Possibly and The Parallel. Incidentally, The Parallel is one of the first EC stories I ever read about 30 years ago. It still holds up.
Zero Hour and Other Stories is possibly the father of the guy that invented the Segway's greatest work. Four out of five stars.
