You saw his origin the other day, now witness The Purple Claw in action in his very first horrific adventure tale ever! Can Purple C stop Dr. Gool from ruling the world with a hideous legion of walking dead? Yeah, prolly…
Originally presented in the Jan 1953 issue of The Purple Claw #1

All it takes to defeat the living dead is one good punch? Barehanded, no less?
I love the Purple Claw's line about the Doctor believing his own wild scheme. As opposed to Dr. Gool thinking "Ehhhh, I've come up with this wild scheme of taking over the world with the undead........don't really believe in it but....might as well go through the motions.....it'll give me something to do" ? I would think you'd want your mad scientists to at least have some conviction in their schemes, otherwise they're just not worth battling.
FUN LITTLE STORY, REALLY NICE ART TOO......THESE SEEM LIKE THE PERFECT TYPE TALES TO POST ON A SATURDAY.
Another cool story. This one would have made a wonderful movie serial (though they would have stretched it out to 15 episodes) with a wonderful "mad scientist" being punched out by the hero at the end.
Agreed, The Purple Claw is the THOIA equivalent to the Saturday matinee serial. Thanks to everyone who stopped by today. All 4 of you.
None of the panels are really square. It's freaking me out.
How does the purple claw protect his real identity? He doesn't even wear a mask. I just puts the claw on and starts wandering around
