Owner's Description

Chamber of Chills #7 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 389. On page 389, Wertham provides a narrative on comic book murder as follows “The stories of murder go from the simple through the gruesome to the weird. One man kills his wife with a poker, another shoots a wolf which is his wife, a third becomes transformed into a huge crab and eats her.” The crab reference comes from the story “Crawling Death” contained in Chamber of Chills #7. I have included a scan of the page from the story that shows the man being transformed into a crab and dining on his wife.
