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. :-)
ReplyDeleteHa. That is actually pretty damn cool.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
