Mad Science U Companion, The

Reprinting two rare science fiction shockers from the steampunk era – and one potential classic-to-be – that further illuminate the events that take place in Mad Science U 2: Look What’s Happened to Mad Science U. First: “The Crystal Man”, possibly the first-ever fictional treatment of an invisible man. Then: “The Chronic Argonauts”, an early H.G. Wells time travel tale that predates his own seminal classic, The Time Machine. And, finally, “Oblique”, in which Mad Science U prof Abner Oblique finally perfects his time machine. Now if he can just rein in his ego, things might work out okay.
