"Issue #15 has a rather graphic junkie story, entitled 'Living Death.' Told in the second person, a narrative voice which Gillmor uses almost as often as EC, the story is a simple and moving sermon on the evils of drugs.... The junkie ends up permanently paralyzed in the classic 'living dead' condition. The authorities, not caring too much about an apparently overdosed junkie, consign him quickly to a cheap wooden coffin and bury him alive!" — George Suarez, Tales To Terrible To Tell #9.
