☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"A Corpse That Comes to Life" in Smash Comics #59 (1945) delivers a delightfully odd twist on teenage rivalry, as Spunky and Curly go head-to-head in a series of carnival challenges to win Marge’s dance invitation—only for Curly’s shady tactics to backfire in ways that leave even the most skeptical reader wondering. With art by Sy Lazarus on both pencils and inks, and a cover by Alex Kotzky, this 10-cent classic blends wholesome competition with just a hint of the uncanny, all set in a world where the line between fun and freakish might be thinner than it seems.
