"Slow Death... was inspired by EC comics, but its emphasis on environmental issues made the EC science fiction comics rather than the horror comics its natural forebears; Slow Death nos. 6 and 7 both mimicked the cover format of EC's Weird Science-Fantasy, with its trademark rocket-ship sidebar." — Joseph Witek, Comic Books as History: The Narrative Art of Jack Jackson, Art Spiegelman, and Harvey Pekar. University Press of Mississippi: 1989, p. 55.
