"Issue #10... boasts another striking Bill Everett cover. Bernie Krigstein leads off with 'The Boy Who Was Afraid.' Krigstein freelanced for Stan Lee from 1950 tthough 1957... Krigstein's storytelling approach this early on is more straightforward. By the post-Code period he changes his approach to break down panels, often to a previously unseen 20 or more panels a page, turning pedestrian scripts into an incredible visual feast." — Michael J. Vassallo, Atlas Era Marvel Masterworks: Strange Tales Vol. 1. Marvel: 2007.
