As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
George Kashdan could always be counted on to deliver a well paced, crisply written story that didn't always relay on the snap ending to be effective. This contrasted with the plodding, over-written "surprise endings" that were figured out way before the end produced by Jack Oleck with depressing frequency during DC's heyday of the mystery mags. Thanks for sharing this just barely Groovy Age tale I'd never seen before.
