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.
