Kid Eternity #12

A library setting turns sinister on Pete Riss's cover for this November 1948 Quality Comics entry, where Kid Eternity faces down a menacing red-robed figure wielding a dagger — with a man already sprawled unconscious on the floor and a William Shakespeare manuscript clutched in the Kid's hand. The tagline "finds Death writes Finis!" sets an ominous literary mood that pairs nicely with the bookshelf backdrop. At still 52 pages for a dime, this issue packs plenty of supernatural adventure into one tightly wound package.
