"The crudity of the artwork and often mystifying plots of Superior's bizarre horror stories gives them a lurid, dreamy quality... expressive of the grey, shadowy 1950s in a way that even EC couldn't match." -EC, MAD and Pre-Code HORROR Comics of the 1950s. [Green Apple: 1997].

Gangster adds zombies to crime squad; man marries Death for extra life, soon regrets it (Death: "We made a bargain, remember? Now come and kiss your wife!" Guy: "UHHHHHH!"); gorilla rips man apart in nauseating panel ("Owwwwwwww - You're k-killing me! YAAAAAAAAA -"); hangings, beheadings, self-immolating zombies, etc.
