“The Porcupine!”

In "The Porcupine!", Lance and Kim stumble into a town where a new menace emerges—The Porcupine, a former inmate whose body now channels electricity through a coat of deadly, throw-accurate quills. With Reed Crandall handling both the interior art and the cover, this 1948 Crack Comics issue delivers a sharp, pulpy clash of heroism and electrostatic menace, all in a 10-cent package of classic Golden Age action.

Fresh from their adventure with a werewolf, Lance and Kim enter a town and meet the Porcupine, who wore a coat of killer quills that he can throw with great accuracy, as well as using his body to topple walls by throwing himself into them. The quills were charged with electricity from the villain's own body, a property which he acquired from stumbling into an electric chair at the penitentiary. When Captain Triumph emerges on the scene, a battle ensues and the Porcupine dies when he is short-circuited by water.
