"Raw Deal" in Shock SuspenStories #15 (1954) delivers a chilling, morally complex tale from writer Carl Wessler and artist George Evans, with inks by Evans and coloring by Marie Severin. A detective’s quest for vengeance after his wife’s murder spirals into obsession when he tortures the convicted killer, only to be haunted by the uncertainty of how the man died—struck by a subway or executed by the third rail. The cover by Jack Kamen captures the story’s grim intensity.
