Satan eats a sinner alive in Larry Woromay's eerie classic "Beelzebub!" Woromay honed his skills drawing for pulp mags before transitioning to the comics biz, where he drew horror and crime stories for Atlas, Stanley Morse and Ace (and inked an Al Williamson sci-fi tale for EC's Weird Science #17). Woromay, whose style was described by fan Mike Griffith as "Tex Avery meets Jack Davis," briefly plied his trade for Warren after the Code kiboshed his comics career, before ending his days as a portraitist and puppet master (his last gig was director of the Nassau County Puppet Theater).
