The Black Terror #10

The Black Terror #10 (1945) kicks off a gripping tale of ambition and quick thinking, as Dave, a man with big dreams of running his own restaurant, finds himself in the middle of a sudden robbery. With Officer Hannigan’s advice ringing in his ears—start from the bottom—Dave uses a clever rearrangement of a flower display in the shop window to send a silent alarm. Written by Bob Stanwood and illustrated with sharp, dynamic energy, the issue captures a moment of tension and resourcefulness, all framed by Alex Schomburg’s striking cover art.
