Editing Among the Living (section)

==Artwork==
The cover art is by illustrator and painter Don Brautigam, a cover artist since the early 1970s,{{Sfn|AllMusic staff|n.d. (a)}} who worked on both ''Among the Living'' and Metallica's iconic ''Master of Puppets''.{{Sfn|Chantler|2016}} The painting of ''Among the Living'' has been the subject of discussion, because it was long believed to depict the character Rev. Henry Kane, the antagonist from the film ''[[Poltergeist II: The Other Side]]'', while others thought it depicted [[Randall Flagg]], the subject of the album's title track and the antagonist from the Stephen King novel ''The Stand''.{{Sfn|Grow|2012}} Drummer Charlie Benante, who conceived the concept for the cover, explained: "It was just about how much evil there is amongst us. I wanted to show just the same type of person on the cover. The same type of people and then, the one person that was sticking out, kind of giving you a wave, like a 'hi!'".{{Sfn|Martos Garcia|2012}} In 1988, Brautigam was the cover artist for the following Anthrax album ''[[State of Euphoria]]''.{{Sfn|AllMusic staff|n.d.
