One of the covers used in THE TRUTH ABOUT COMICS shown in the last post is SHOCKING MYSTERY CASES #58 (Star, April 1954). Overall, it's a typical crime comic of the day, promising "True Cases From Crime Files". However, the lead story diverges from the usual crime elements into the "horror-suspense" realm.
"No Harm Done . . . !" is a bizarre story by an unknown scriptwriter and artist that takes a cue from the crime/horror that EC was producing at the time and provides a twist ending -- but the explanation of what happens comes from way out in left field.
