These Purple Claw comics are so far above the grade for their contemporaries. I adore them. Only flaw is most of these end with a punch from the claw, but the build-up is choice. What a great early foray into the point where superheroes and horror intersect! Dr. Weir beat both Dr. Strange and Constantine to the punch...all while looking like Jason Blood. Hail to the first superhero ghost-breakers!
