Smash Comics #74
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSmash Comics #74 from December 1947 delivers a wonderfully absurd cover by Jack Cole, showing the cool, blue-suited Midnight leaning smugly over a "Little Doozy Washer" as a hapless thug gets fed headfirst through the wringer, soaking wet and bug-eyed with misery, while a second waterlogged crook clings to a doorframe nearby. It's the kind of gleefully inventive visual gag that makes Quality Comics' lineup such a pleasure to revisit, with Cole's clean linework turning a laundry appliance into an instrument of justice. "Midnight Cleans Up Crime!" indeed — this one earns its tagline.

Black X and Batu come across two ruffians trying to load a coffin into a truck. The men flee, and the coffin is taken to Black X's apartment where a man named Graspon wishes to buy it for $20,000. When X refuses the offer and Graspon leaves, X opens the coffin to discover the living but unconscious body of a beautiful girl. Graspon meanwhile goes out to hire thugs to forcibly take the coffin and contents away from X.
