"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. This volume also includes essays by experts and more."

In addition to his pioneering work on the serious EC war comics, Harvey Kurtzman (1924-1993) created the all-time greatest satirical comic (with Mad), the most widely-read adult comic strip (with Little Annie Fanny in Playboy), and one of the earliest graphic novels (with the 1959 The Jungle Book). 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 to 1985, as the editor of the satirical magazine Mad.
