☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "School of Crime," Zero confronts the spectral menace of Joe Ricks not with force, but with a clever linguistic trap—using the word "evil," a reversal of "live," to unravel the ghost’s form. Written by Toni Blum and illustrated by Al Bryant, this 1941 Quality Comics standout blends supernatural suspense with a surprising twist on how to defeat a spectral foe. The cover, by John Devlin, captures the eerie tension of the moment with a striking, period-accurate design.

Zero uses a rather unique way of defeating the giant ghost of Joe Ricks: merely talking to him. By repeating the word "evil" ("live" spelled backwards, the one thing a ghost cannot do), Zero reduces the ghost in size, and, from there, Rucks continues to shrink with every word uttered.
