Owner's Description
Vault of Horror #23 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) on pages 83-84.
Wagner, describing “crime-terror” comic books, uses examples from Vault of Horror #23 “To conclude this survey of almost unadulterated ghastliness, I refer to The Vault of Horror no 23, in which a woman is pursued by a Thing (‘It stand from oozing grave mud!, Clods of rancid crawling rotted flesh fell from its eyeless face…’), a man is decapitated (‘THOK!’), another boiled alive in a showerbath, and a tyrannous employer, who slaps his nine women employees, is burnt alive in his own sweatshop, the girls first flinging him under a sewing-machine and stitching up his lips in a perfectly sickening series of pictures accompanied by the text, ‘Heh, heh, heh! Well, a stich in time saves nine …’”. All these examples come from stories contained in Vault of Horror #23.
