Overview
Joe Orlando was a mainstay at EC, especially on science fiction, and this collects 23 of his best sf stories. All of them, most scripted by Al Feldstein, serve up classic O. Henry-style endings, such as oeI, Robot, and oeFallen Idol. The title story is one of EC (TM)s most famous, with its blunt anti-racism message. When it was printed during the era of the Comics Code, publisher Bill Gaines and Feldstein had to fight to keep the story (TM)s final panel oereveal (and thus its whole point) intact. It was a Pyrrhic victory, however, as oeJudgment Day became the last story in the last comic book EC published. This volume also features two of Orlando (TM)s outstanding adaptations of classic Ray Bradbury science fiction stories: oeThe Long Year and oeOutcast of the Stars. Also included are all of EC (TM)s oeAdam Link adaptations, a series which was later also adapted for The Outer Limits TV show and featured Leonard Nimoy.
