These Mr. Ozimandias stories sure are grim. Good thing Dell, due to its squeaky-clean reputation, was able to get away with what EC could not: declining to sign on to the Comics Code in 1955. (Actually, even when EC did reluctantly begin submitting issues to the CCA, it was too late; they had such an [undeservedly] bad reputation few newstands would carry their titles.)

Getting back to this story: I'd love to see Paily go head-to-head with the Swamp Thing.

	Nice little story. For some reason, the huge blocks of dialogue don't seem oppressive at all. (Reply to this)

I'm not wild about the notion that becoming a master of ONE type of mysticism automatically makes you an expert at ALL of it. I mean, what would a Tibetan Lamasery teach you about plant magic? These are BUDDHISTS we're talking about here - their whole belief system is about perfecting the self (a vast oversimplification, I know, but still). What would they know about fertility rites? It doesn't make much sense to me.
