| Solid cover, and not a bad comic either. |
|
| This issue was one that was singled out by Fredric Wertham in SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT. “Now no holds are barred," he wrote. "Horror, crime, sadism, monsters, ghouls, corpses dead and alive—in short, real freedom of expression. All this in comic books addressed to and sold to children." |
