Keen Detective Funnies #19
In "Lesson No. 6," a 1940 issue of Keen Detective Funnies, the Eye—a mysterious figure with a knack for outwitting criminals—arrives at the home of mastermind Manuel Rossoff just as a bomb is set to detonate at a Washington D.C. government building. Written, drawn, and inked by Frank Thomas, the story unfolds with tense precision as Rossoff’s confederate is caught in a trap that ties all the villains together in the very room where the bomb is set to go off at noon. The cover, by Lochlan Field, captures the moment with dramatic flair.
