It was only controversial at the time that it was published but not censored per se. This story was reprinted in Incredible Science Fiction #33 (which was the post-Code retitled version of Weird Science-Fantasy) after the Comics Code Authority, which was partly created no just to police comics but also to put EC out of business (even though Gaines originally came up with the idea of an industry ratings board). The Code objected to the "beads of sweat" and had some vauge claim that it violated a code mandate to no portray minority races in an offensive manner (which never seemed to effect the various Asian stereotypes in other Code approved books throughout the late 50's and into the 60's?) Gaines threatened to sue the Comics Code Authority, which backed down. Shortly after this, Gaines stopped publishing comics and instead concentrated on magazine publications, like Mad.
