Classic zombie bullfight cover by Al Feldstein, whose stiff figures paradoxically crackle with strange dynamism. "Feldstein's art — which he himself dismisses as 'stiff' — nonetheless has a visceral, immediate style that contributed much to what is often referred to as 'the EC mystique.' The World Encyclopedia of Comics states that 'his depiction of 'static horror' — freezing a single action in time — has never been successfully duplicated in comics.'" — Grant Geissman, Feldstein: The Mad Art and Fantastic Life of Al Feldstein. IDW: 2013, p. 131.
