Famous Funnies #22

In "The Tonic Part Was Fine, Anyway," Roy Crane’s adventurous sailor Easy ventures into a mysterious undersea city, where he uncovers a colossal golden monkey statue. After detaching its tail and later sawing off its head—only to find it hollow—Easy is suddenly seized by a massive octopus tentacle. The story, illustrated with bold, dynamic lines by Roy Crane, captures the thrill of discovery and peril beneath the waves, all rendered in the distinctive style of the era. The cover, by Victor Pazmiño, perfectly captures the moment of tension as the octopus strikes.
