Story Notes

Text story with one illustration featuring people fleeing from a demonic face in the sky, sequenced between parts 2 and 3 (pages 13 and 14) of the main story. Keith Chandler : The small illustration appears to be by the same artist who drew the cover. There are hints of Wally Wood or Sid Check in the fleeing figure at right.
