We’re going to finish out the month on a wild, 3 day detour into the realm of horrific crime horror. And if you’ve already glanced down at the splash panel then you’ll probably agree that shooting someone point blank in the face is pretty horrific, but also add elements concerning heroin addiction, excessive corpse violence, hints of rape etc, what you wind up with is one stunning bit of sensibly illustrated, extremely well written, non-supernatural pre-code. That’s right, no ghosts or ghoulies this weekend, just bloodcurdling violence from the back alleys of evil... and the phenomenal
Johnny Dynamite series was one of the most notorious of them all.
From the September 1953 issue of
