“The Curse of the Haunted Headsman”

In "The Curse of the Haunted Headsman," the Clown, a master of mischief and disguise, sets his sights on a daring heist during a parade in Big City, where the Mayor has publicly declared that $500,000 in cash is hidden among the crowd. With the city's streets filled with spectators and the stakes higher than ever, the Clown’s plan hinges on outsmarting both the law and his own unpredictable instincts. Penciled and inked by Joe Gallagher, this 1942 tale of suspense and spectacle delivers a classic pulp-era thriller with a touch of the macabre, all rendered in bold, expressive art that captures the era’s flair.
