classic melting head cover; Frazetta, Powell artThis is one of the greatest classic covers of the Pre-Code Horror age, and one which was probably in no small way responsible for the induction of the Comics Code. Lee Elias' amazing illustration of the radium melting this poor fellow's face and hands is the stuff of legend. Knowledgeable comic collectors and gore gobblers go mad for this book when it comes up for auction. Add in Frank Frazetta's uncredited contribution to the inks of this issue's "Here Today," and there's simply no denying the power of this classic pre-Code comic.
