Tight-Fisted Tales: "This western gem is one of the last comics of EC's 'Pre-Trend' era — in fact, after Gunfighter #14 the title was changed to...Haunt Of Fear! Johnny Craig did four of the covers for this title, and #13 is, in my opinion, the most dynamic and action-packed. I very rarely let ECs go, and I'll probably regret it, so take advantage of my momentary lapse of reason!" — Thommy Burns.
