This is the mag that led Bernie Krigstein to quit EC for good. The original ending of Feldstein and Krigstein's "Fall Guy for Murder" allowed the story's antagonist to get away with murder, with an innocent man taking the rap. This offended Krigstein's moral sense, and he altered the ending so that the innocent man killed the murderer. "When Feldstein and Gaines rejected his new ending, Krigstein quit on the spot, leaving EC for good. Feldstein gave the unfinished story to Reed Crandall for inking, which resulted in an unusual meshing of styles." — Roger Hill, The Complete Crime Illustrated. Russ Cochran: 2006, p.1.
