Objected to the cover? The cover of "The Confession" was tame compared to several others in the series! That's one of the points of the whole Hard Case Crime series: to feature "original cover art in the grand pulp style." You can check out all the Hard Case Crime covers, in all their lurid glory, at http://www.hardcasecrime.com/books_bios.cgi

  Not to mention EC comics. Of course, EC became the scapegoat of Dr.
