☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Plumed Serpent" in Contact Comics #11 (1946) delivers a gripping wartime-era mystery, where a former soldier's G.I. Bill loan leads him into a web of deception with a shadowy enterprise called "Bonny Prosthetics." Written and illustrated by Harvey Kurtzman, the story unfolds with sharp pacing as the enigmatic Black Venus uncovers the truth behind the scheme, exposing a conspiracy that goes far beyond the surface. The cover by L. B. Cole captures the tale’s intrigue with a striking, stylized image that hints at danger and disguise.
When a distress telegram pulls the Golden Eagle south to the jungles near Ecuador, a crash landing leaves him stranded fifty miles from his destination—and squarely in the path of a resurrected Aztec death cult. Forced to navigate both the savage wilderness and a sinister scheme to exploit the locals through ancient superstition, the airman and his eagle companion Liberty must uncover who's behind the "Plumed Serpent" worship before he becomes the next sacrifice.
In "The Prosthesis Racket," a former soldier takes a loan under the G.I. Bill of Rights to partner with a man named Mr. Bonny in a prosthetics business—only to find himself entangled in a scheme when the real Mr. Bonny is nowhere to be found. Black Venus uncovers the deception, tracking down the fraudsters behind the scam before they can strike again.
