Feldstein's script provided another showcase for Williamson's brilliant figure work, this time with plenty of lovely femmes in the mix. As noir as can possibly be – featuring enough perverse immorality, back-stabbing, and nasty plot twists to fill a feature-length film – it is a pinnacle for EC cynicism clothed in beautiful people.... Assisted by Frazetta inks – most notably on many of the women's faces – the story keeps the reader morbidly engaged right up to the final caption." – Mark Schultz, "Triumph of a Romanticist," 50 Girls 50 and Other Stories by Al Williamson. Fantagraphics: 2013, p. xii.______________________________________________________________
