Wow, look at that great Norm Saunders cover. You'd almost think that the comic was inspired by the film THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, except for the fact that the film wasn't produced until 1957. Even the Richard Matheson novel the movie was based on wasn't published until 1956. Interestingly enough, the producer of Shrinking Man was Albert Zugsmith. The SAME Albert Zugsmith who had represented Jerry Siegel in his lawsuit against National Periodical Publications in the late 1940s, who had led Jerry to believe he had a chance to win it... and there are some hints that Zugsmith may have taken the lion's share of the money in the settlement made between Siegel and National at that time. In other words, Siegel's legal eagle might have been paid off by National to "take a dive". Siegel was awarded rights to Superboy, but ironically had to sell the character back to National to pay his legal costs to Zugsmith. "Zuggy" used his windfall profits from the case to underwrite his dream of becoming a Hollywood producer. While the scene with the cat attacking a miniature human in "The Evil Men Do" is eerily prescient of The Incredible Shrinking Man, EC's WEIRD SCIENCE #12 (actually the first issue) had ALSO featured a shrinking man (on the cover, too) in its first issue ("Lost in the Microcosm"), published in 1950 (so, about a year earlier). One wonders what Richard Matheson had been reading a few years before writing his 1956 novel.
