Jack Kamen Biography
A popular comic book artist of the 1950s, Jack Kamen is most famous for his work for EC Comics.

Kamen was particularly known for his “Kamen girls,” the voluptuous and cold-hearted damsels that often appeared in his drawings. Kamen’s son Dean Kamen is the creator of the IBOT wheelchair, the Segway scooter and many other inventions.
