Art: Jack Kamen, Wally Wood, Joe Orlando, George Evans.Lightning Strikes Twice: "Al Feldstein's exuberantly brutal cover for Shock #7 was so immediate in its impact that some readers were left wondering 'what was going on.' They got a partial explanation in the letters page of #9, but what was really 'going on' was that Feldstein was at the height of his powers as a writer/editor and knew it. The blistered, screaming face of a man struck by lightning, his back turned to his own reflection, is an apt introduction – Caveat lector! – to the second year of Shock's run." – Bill Mason, Shock SuspenStories Vol. 2. Russ Cochran: 1981.______________________________________________________________
