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

Names in story are fictitious.

Some of the story is told in flashback.

Colors were previously attributed to Marie Severin, but it is unlikely that Severin had begun coloring at EC when this issue was colored (Cassell 2012, 33–34 and 171).

Letterer credits by Craig Delich.
