Key Comics #1

Key Comics #1 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. One story involves Dick and Phillip, who are confined in a classroom with other students while Dr. Renoir is arrested; they devise a scheme using chalk and a lamp to create shadows and escape their guards. Another story follows Greg Leary, a district attorney who wins a case against Bob Evans for defrauding the city of funds, but Evans escapes from jail; when Judge Lands arrives at Greg's home with alarming news of the escape, a mysterious gypsy woman and supernatural beings from "the land of the crooked cross" appear, threatening the family with various methods of death. The stories blend crime drama with elements of mystery and the supernatural.
