Mo Faux: a bowl-haircutted corpse, looking like an ersatz Mo Howard, prepares to bite a guy's throat out (Nyuk, nyuk, YUK). Under the covers, evil toads cry out for satanic savories: "Ho, witches! Feed us the flesh of young babes!" Cover artist Seymour "Sy" Moskowitz cranked out a few dozen crime, war and terror stories for Atlas and Charlton in the mid-1950s before his comics career fizzled in the wake of the Code. Like many of the journeymen artists who dallied in dreck during the boom years of horror, little if anything is known about his post-comics existence.
