Judgment Day And Other Stories [Hardcover]

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 I, Robot, and Fallen Idol. The title story is one of ECs most famous, with its blunt anti-racism message.
