When artist Wallace Wood teamed up with writer/editor Harvey Kurtzman to
create stories, the result was some of the best war stories ever put to
paper. Together, Wood and Kurtzman delivered outstanding, deeply human
battle tales from the Civil War to World War I to World War II to Korea.
Atom Bomb And Other Stories collects all the combat tales Wood and
Kurtzman did together for EC's Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline
Combat, plus other war stories Wood did for EC writer/editor Al
Feldstein. Wood and Kurtzman pulled no punches in depicting the utter
folly, madness, and horror of war -- especially in the title story,
which depicts the bombing of Nagasaki from the viewpoint of the victims
on the ground -- a shockingly controversial point of view in 1953!
