Is there a more disturbing precode cover ever than this classic suicide cover by Craig? For me either this or #20 hard choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that makes CSS 17 more disturbing to me is how Craig captures the moment the guy blows his brains out. The severing of the tongues has already happened in LSS 11 and the severer is explaining it in the written caption. We don't have to for CSS 17 - a suicial act is taking place. That's why I find CSS 17 to have the most distubing cover of them all. As for the cover to CSS 20, very disturbing but is open for interpretation. We have a hanging man with his neck snapped. When did it happen? Why? Suicide? Execution? Homicide? All incredibly disturbing covers. Edited July 1, 2018 by bronze johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it's as top-tier an EC cover as any that get the more traditional recognition as the big guns. @Microbia Holy cow I missed my own pun! I really was thinking of the other notorious EC covers -- CSS 20&22, SSS6, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry @retrocomics and @Robot Man but I let it get away the one time I saw it....very disturbing scene of a father smacking his little boy across the face as the mom looks on. Real out there for an Atlas non-horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
