Keen Detective Funnies #6
In "Pyramid of Death," legendary creator Will Eisner delivers a taut, early crime thriller as Hammer Donovan, a disgraced detective, is pulled back into the force with unrestricted power to hunt a serial killer and his shadowy gang—targets of both the law and the underworld. With Eisner handling every aspect of the interior art and storytelling, and Harry Francis Campbell’s striking cover capturing the story’s ominous tone, this 1939 issue stands as a gripping example of the genre’s formative years.
