"Man immersed in acid; fiend stabbed in neck with scissors. Weird story in which a mad scientist raises his worst enemy from the dead in order to kill him again." — EC, MAD, and Pre-Code HORROR Comics of the 1950s. Green Apple: 1997, p.15.

"Some comic books decribe sexual sadism with its most morbid psychological refinements. In a recent comic book a man makes love to a married woman, while her husband, whose leg has been injured by the lover, has to look helplessly on. The lover kisses the girl, taunting the husband all the while. The girl gets sexually so excited by this perverse situation that she exclaims, 'STOP! I can't stand it any more!'" — Dr. Wertham, SOTI.
