Real Mature, snell

It's not just me, right? Admit it--you see this cover:

And you think:

Damn, I'm a laugh riot.

Anyway, Golden Age doofus Captain Triumph has to face the terror of Mr. Pointer, a villain who can kill--just by pointing at you!!


Not just, people, either...



He killed a dog?!? Oh, man, now it's on!!

And how, exactly, does Mr. Pointer pull off these seemingly impossible murders?



That's right...a special glove that shoots out needle-sharp icicles made out of FROZEN POISON.

Dang, that's actually pretty cool.

Mr. Poison appeared in Crack Comics #61 (1949)

Crack Comics always did have one of the most unfortunate titles in comic book history. :-)

Ha. That is actually pretty damn cool.

I have that issue, and yes, that really is a pretty cool idea. (Great Reed Crandall artwork, too!) I was also amused by the way Mr. Pointer's thugs had scruples ("We're crooks, not murderers!") and offered to testify against him.
