I did not know Jack Kamen, but his wife Evelyn was one of my high school teachers. As I read the comments above I get a sense that Jack was a decent and talented human being. His wife was also a wonderful person and one of the kindest and most dedicated teachers I have ever known. My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Kamen.

I met Jack Kamen in 1965 when I was the art director for a busy NYC ad agency. I needed a good illustrator to back up the many ads, brochures I designed. Jack was the perfect artist. We had many discussions at many meetings and lunches. We worked together on and off for over fifteen years. He will be missed.

Just learned of Jack Kamen’s death. The world has lost a truly fine artist but
I will always remember him as sweet guy… fun loving, gentle and a really
decent human being. He was my friend.

My deepest condolences to Evelyn and his talented family.

I met Jack Kamen in 1965 when I was the art director for a busy ad agency in New York City. Over the active years that I worked with Jack he handled hundreds of projects for our clients on a wide variety of subject matter. Jack could handle any project; and every illustration he did was classic. He always called his amazing ability an educated hand. It was far more than that. Those were great times Jack, old friend.

One of the great ones. R.I.P.

Patrick: I’m not sure why you think the Crime Suspenstories cover was done by Ingles and not Kamen.

Clue #1 – Ingles *never* did a Crime Suspenstories cover

Clue #2 – That blonde soooo Kamen

Clue #3 – Kamen’s signature on the bottom left

(That second cover is a Graham Ingles cover, not Kamen. He does have a good selection of Crime Suspenstories covers to pick from!)

Condolences to the Kamen family. It’s always sad when one of the original E.C. artists pass away.

Jack Kamen was the David Lynch of the 1950s. Sheer brilliance. Whenever I see a movie or TV show about the dark undercurrents of suburban life, it’s like South Park & the Simpsons–”Kamen did it.”
