Comment: Corben's artwork is messy as B&W, but brilliant in colors. Richard Margopolous' story has only one merit, an excellent ending.
Color: This story is painted, despite most (or even all the rest?) of Warren stories were made by overlay technique (to cut down expenses). The B&W version was prob. photocopied from the original, because of messy result. Sometimes they used the earlier B&W version (as was in a case of "Change... Into Something Comfortable").
