Shock SuspenStories #18

In "Cadillac Fever!", a 1954 classic from EC Comics, a paranoid policeman’s escalating fear spirals into chaos after he spots a man with a bloodstained bag and a wild look—convinced it holds his boss’s severed head. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated with stark intensity by Bernie Krigstein, the story unfolds in a tense, noir-tinged cityscape where suspicion and mistaken identity ignite a deadly chase. The cover by George Evans captures the moment’s dread, while Marie Severin’s bold colors and Jim Wroten’s sharp lettering complete the chilling atmosphere of a 10-cent comic that still packs a punch.
