Gwandanaland Comics #947

Collecting Mack Martin's complete run from Super-Mystery Comics, this 2018 Gwandanaland volume showcases Rudy Palais's cover art at its pulpy, atmospheric best — a square-jawed hero fires his pistol while surrounded by an unsettling crowd of skeletal and hooded figures closing in from all sides. Palais both penciled and inked that striking image, and his bold linework captures exactly the kind of eerie tension that made golden-age mystery comics so compelling. A great way to experience these hard-to-find stories gathered in one place.
