Indexer Notes

Script and art credits per Tales of Terror: The EC Companion, The Woman Who Loved Life and Other Stories, by Thommy Burns (Fantagraphics Publications, 2019) and Bill Black.

This was Johnny Craig's first published EC story.

Lurid Little Nightmare Makers (Boardman Books, 2014) #5 incorrectly credits Shelly Moldoff on art.

Colors were previously attributed to Marie Severin, but it is unlikely that Severin had begun coloring at EC when this issue was colored (Cassell 2012, 33-34 and 171).

Lettering credits added by Craig Delich.
