"Wolverton began the art for 'The Eye of Doom' late in the evening of Saturday, February 3.... [The artwork to the story] was sent [to Atlas] on February 9. His first non-humorous story in nearly a decade was classic Wolverton — a nightmarish tale in which its three heroes are devoured, one after another, by carniverous floating eyeballs. Talking to Dick Voll two decades later, Wolverton remembered it as one of his favorite stories; and, aside from the typical Timely blurb slapped on the 'eye-grabbing' splash, the story is unadulterated Wolverton." — Greg Sadowski, Brain Bats of Venus: The Life and Comics of Basil Wolverton Volume Two, 1942-1952.
