Stories

Notes: The 3rd panel on page 4 of the man being choked is an exact swipe from Everett's great story "The Poor Fish" from Suspense 28. See page 2, panel 5. It looks so close that at first I thought it might have been a paste-up, but there are some minor differences in shading. The dead man's face on page 4, panel 4 also looks very much like the face of the dead man in the water--page 2, panel 7--of the Everett story.
