Lou Cameron (June 20, 1924 – November 25, 2010) was an American writer and a comic book artist.

His work usually boasted muscular, no-nonsense prose through a prism of wry cynicism, sharp observation, and a signature combination of gusto with pulp-style gritty realism; he was also expert at devising unexpected, 11th hour plot twists. Fantastically versatile and prolific, his work ran the gamut in quality from inspired artistry, to for-the-buck shock sensationalism. But his style remained individual and unmistakable.

The town of terror Cybernia. Ross MacLean was a computer expert. One of those bright guys with a head for pure logic. Machines break down once in a while, and he could set them straight in no time. That's why he was going to Cybernia.

Cybernia was a new community - a community of tomorrow. It was fully modernized and automated, run by a fantastic computer. But the computer was acting strangely. At least that's what Ed Morton, town manager, said when he called in MacLean.

It was getting bigger. It was controlling things it was never programmed to control.

Then suddenly it started killing people.
