“Ronnie the Rat”

"Ronnie the Rat" kicks off in 1944 with a slick, noir-tinged twist in Smash Comics #53, as mob boss Darla Dee sets her sights on taking control of the city. When her offer to join her is refused, she plants evidence to frame Dave for murder, setting off a tense cat-and-mouse game. Written and illustrated by Paul Gustavson—handling every step from pencils to inks—this tale blends hardboiled intrigue with a touch of the surreal, all wrapped in a striking cover by Alex Kotzky.
