Comment:	OUCH!!! That is the most nightmarish comic cover I have ever seen. I can just visualize what my mom would have said if she had seen THAT amongst my Batman and Donald Duck comics when I was a kid!!! --Jim

Comment:	The Wolverton Swamp Monster story, although short, makes this an easy 10, even if the rest of the comic does not come close to matching it. That is one gorgeously hideous monster and not only does it look great, but Wolverton animates its movement and facial expressions and emotions beautifully. That's art. There is a lot of text and ads in the comic including a letters page that has a spirited defense of comics, especially horror comics, in response to a reader's attack; essentially a rebuttal of the Wertham school of thought on comics.
