| love Harry Lucey's work on the Hangman...some of my favorite MLJ-era art...Hangman and Black Hood stories tend to be some of the most readable as well |
|
| Hangman, the successor of the ultra-violent Comet, got into sordid murder mysteries. I'll go elsewhere now...
That skeleton lady to the left is appropiate for some comics. |
|
| What I learned reading Hangman is that in most cases he will chase you until you die by your own clumsiness. Lol |
|
| This is an epic comic. Thank goodness the series was made in the early 40s, it would have had no chance with the CCA. Special case no.2 involving a clown murderer had a strong feel of The Killing Joke about it. As for the Hangman himself, I can sense a new profile picture coming around! |
