Comic Story | Herbie Goes to the Devil! (13 pages) |
Synopsis | Satan is getting fewer souls every year so he boasts that he will deliver a randomly chosen one: Herbie's. Herbie agrees to a deal with the Devil to help his dad, and after consultation on contracts, Herbie reluctantly agrees to go to Hades. Hades would never be the same! |
Content | Genre: Humor; Superhero | Characters: Herbie Popnecker; Pincus Popnecker; Mrs. Popnecker; Satan; Miss Baylor; Frankenstein; Dracula |
Notes | On page 2, Satan chooses a soul by throwing a dart at a map. The map implies that Herbie lives in the midwest USA, in Nebraska or Kansas. On page 10, Herbie's stare melts Frankenstein and Dracula, during which the two plead for help; their words are too small for the balloons and in a different lettering style, suggesting that different words were changed at the last minute.
Miss Baylor is based on Elizabeth Taylor. |
