Indexer Notes

Pencils and inks credit revisions from "Tales of Terror! - The EC Companion" by Fred von Bernewitz and Grant Geissman. Kamen's then five year old son "helped" the art by defacing it with childish scrawls. Kamen then held Bart's hand and guided it to retouch the art. Kamen felt Bart deserved art credit.
