The Desert Rat-Bernard Krigstein-1957

Love him or hate him, one has to give artist Bernie Krigstein credit for innovation, squeezing as he does here a record 73 panels into a 4 page Atlas story. In an interview once, Krigstein said he always liked Stan Lee's plots but felt compelled to find ways to get more out of them than a 6 or 8 panel page could give.

Wow, Krigstein really went to town subdividing the panels on this one. 73 panels on 4 pages.

You mean there are people who hate Krigstein?
What a perfect idiot litmus test.
