Crack Comics #40
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCrack Comics #40 is an anthology featuring multiple stories, with the lead story "Captain Triumph Untangles Another Thrilling Murder Mystery" prominently advertised on the cover. The issue also includes "Pen Miller," a story about a cartoonist-detective who bases his adventure strips on real-life cases, in which Miller uncovers a crime involving state penitentiary inmates living in luxury and must convince skeptical legislators of the scheme's legitimacy. Additional content includes a humorous cartoon strip about a character learning to play poker from an unlikely teacher.
Inkie, the pint-sized hero, takes center stage—literally—when he's hired to perform in a marionette theatre and discovers he's caught between genuine show business magic and a villain with genuinely sinister plans. As Inkie learns the ropes (quite literally) of puppet performance alongside Nero and King Tot, the scheming Vance plots to eliminate this human interloper who's disrupted the traditional ways of the marionette world. It's a rollicking blend of backstage hijinks and theatrical danger that keeps this tiny star scrambling to survive both the stage and real peril.
