Smash Comics #17
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Music Hath Charm," Jack Cole delivers a delightfully absurd twist on the crime genre, as the perpetually flustered Professor Grrr, frustrated by his inept henchman Wun Cloo’s botched murders, turns on his own lackey—only to be outmaneuvered by a bizarre turn of events. When Wun Cloo downs the mysterious Super Putty Juice and gains a malleable form, he takes on a surprising role: embodying the Professor’s conscience and steering him toward redemption. Jack Cole’s sharp storytelling and inventive art bring this quirky 1940s mystery to life, while Gill Fox’s cover captures the story’s zany energy with bold, expressive flair.
In "null," a delightfully absurd 1940 detective-mystery from Smash Comics #17, the perpetually frustrated Professor Grrr faces his greatest failure yet when his carefully orchestrated murders go awry—thanks to the bumbling detective Wun Cloo. After a series of botched attempts to eliminate his nemesis, Wun Cloo stumbles upon Super Putty Juice, transforming his body into something pliable and strange, and using his new form to play the role of the Professor’s conscience in a surreal showdown.
