"I was delighted to learn that Lee has attained the status of an authority in the comics field. Twenty years of unrelenting editorial effort to suppress the artistic effort, encourage miserable taste, flood the field with degraded imitations and polluted non-stories, treating artists and writers like cattle, and failure on his part to make an independent success as a cartoonist have certainly qualified him for this respected position."

- Bernard Krigstein on Stan Lee


Gott im Himmel! Wunderbar!

I'm reviewing just the 8 page short comic, which can be found many places online, and not any other collection this masterpiece has been published in.

Okay. Wow! What a stunning short comic with a deliciously insidious twist. A blueprint for how to write post-WWII horror (before the Holocaust was even really fair-game in popular media).

B. Krigstein was no doubt a genius with the medium of comics, and his ability to keep movement and motion between (and within) panels is absolutely astonishing. Krigstein, deservedly, gets a lot of praise for this work, but it wouldn't be possible without the excellent writing/ plotting of Gaines & Feldstein. A perfectly executed premise and a daring reveal. Bravo!

Do yourself a favour: Find this comic and give it a read!

It was a madness... A wave that swept thorough your Homeland like a plague... A tidal wave of frenzied hate-fears and blood-letting and exploding violence.
