In Al Feldstein and Wally Wood's "The Confidant," a mob beats a Catholic priest to death with clubs, gun-butts and brass knuckles for refusing to break his confessional oath. Meanwhile, in Jack Kamen's "Raw Deal," a man eats his wife (and not in the good way).

"I hate censorship, but even I get a little uneasy when I read a comic in which a man eats the corpse of his fiancée." — William Woolfolk, Bill Gaines' friend.
