Crummy weather here in the midwest has waterlogged most of our plans for the 4th of July festivities... guess I'll just stay in and see what's on the old boob-tube instead. From the October 1952 issue of The Beyond #16.

There's some great art on this one. Very nicely detailed death, the wavy TV effect, and I love a good super villain devil. He's even got a skull on his chest! I love the sea foam green for the walking corpse, and Lida fills in the good girl art role.
Page 6, panel 2, that's really staged great. The Huntley and reaper book ending the suffering in hell Lida is a cool image, and I love the coloring and swirling vortexes.
That said, there is some weird art, too. Lida chocking the daughter looks completely uninterested on page 2.
I think I'd make some changes to the last page, we don't need the explanation of the newscaster, he's just repeated what we've just read. Maybe another panel of the crash and then leave the 2nd to last panel as the last one?
What a convenient ending! Law enforcement should use this as a model to investigate homicide cases from now on.
I don't know many of them well, including the famous ones, but Lida has such a great film noir villainess look. And even in that final scene she's doing some dramatic "thrusting."
