Disclose Notes: John Alton is credited in the reprint, but, in an interview from Graphic Story Magazine number 15 (Summer 1973), Harry Harrison said he did this story with Wally Wood. Most online sources don't credit Wood with doing anything in this particular story (though Harrison and Wood did a lot of work together). It is included in Harry Harrison: An Annotated Bibliography, which credits Harrison with the art and tentatively credits him with the script.

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Credits
Colorist(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: crime
Character(s): Frank Jameson; Janice (Frank's girl friend and neighbor); Ugo (sic Hugo) Jameson (Frank's brother)
First Line: When his crazed brother tied and gagged Frank Jameson...
Synopsis: Frank cared for his crazed brother Hugo, who had the mind of a baby and did not really understand the difference between right and wrong. This was a fact Frank wanted to keep from Janice, but when she learned of the situation she ran off, but for just a little while. Meanwhile, Ugo binds up Frank and walls him in down in the basement. When Janice comes looking for Frank, Ugo tells her what he did to Frank and, through a trick maneuver, notifies the authorities and Frank is saved.

Disclose Notes: Script credit from Tales of Terror: The EC Companion.

Letterer credits from Craig Delich.

This story, according to author Thommy Burns in "The Woman Who Loved Life and Other Stories", an October 2019 book by Fantagraphics, strongly feels this particular story is not really a crime story at all, but the precursor to the EC New Trend SuspenStories.

Frank's brother in the story is sometimes called Hugo and sometimes Ugo.
