I'm trying to id an old crime comic (50's I assume). It has a cover with a criminal holding a woman's decapitated head (?) and he's trying to escape down a manhole as the cops pull up in a car and shoot at him? I have the cover in my head but can't think of the title. This is considered a classic cover, so I'm sure one of you guys will identify it quickly. Thanks!

I don't know what Dr. Wertham was all bunged up about........how is this not perfectly innocent and appropriate for little kids? confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Yes, as Bill Gaines would say.........at least it's a nice straight cut and we don't see the dangling flesh and loose blood dripping from the severed neck and stump of the body. boo.gif

No need to delete this thread, any excuse to view that book again is a good one! thumbsup2.gif

 

Even I, a pre-code horror and crime nut, find that cover inappropriately gruesome - possibly the most graphically violent and lurid of both genres (from that era, of course - that cover is mild compared to the modern stuff).

 

Not that I wouldn't want a copy of course.... crazy.gif
