Title: WEB OF EVIL No. 8
Place Published:
Publisher:Quality [Indicia: Comic Magazines]
Date Published: November, 1953
Description:
G/VG (3.0). Spine stress, staples quite pulled, a few tiny edge and corner chips, crease marks to edges. If not for staple pull would grade 4.0. Light tan pages. Professionally cleaned and pressed by Comics In A Flash. Cover: Uncredited (Chuck Cuidera inks?). Art: Jack Cole (2 stories), Charles Nicholas. GPAnalysis: A 3.0 sold for $125 in April 2021.
Jack Cole is on a roll with two tasty terror tidbits in this ish, including the wild "Death Prowls the Streets," in which a deranged cop goes on a murder spree (Cole continues the "bad cop" motif in his second story, which features a weird skull-faced state trooper). Plus: An evil lothario drops a nuke on his romantic rival in an insane case of overkill. The A-bomb blast gives the dead rival's ghost the ability to re-enter and control his own corpse in order to seek revenge — the radioactivity and retribution angles make it seem like a perverse version of a Marvel origin story.
