Credits: Dick Ayers, Ernie Bache, Ogden Whitney, Paul Parker, L. B. Cole, Graham Ingels. Overstreet: "Bondage/hypo cover; last L.B. Cole Red Fox; Ingels art."Homunculus of Horror: Miniature mofo stands on sexy babe's sternum, jabs juice into her jugular with his horror hypo – one of the craziest covers of the pre-Code era by far. The insides are just as gonzo, with hanging panels, lingerie pix, brass knuckle beatdowns, skull-cracking cops bashing brains with billyclubs, mashers molesting molls, defenestrated felons, car crash carnage, bullet-ridden brunettes, blondes in bondage, cads cracking cuties in the kisser, cast-iron skillets bounced off beans, and a dynamite Ingels crime caper featuring "the Duke," a top-hatted toff who crushes crime with his leggy gal pal, Flame Farnal, with whom he apparently cohabitates as they engage in unspecified "sinful doings" – whew!______________________________________________________________
