In "Vendetta," a 1941 issue of Top Notch Comics, the notorious criminal known as the Skull faces execution—only to be approached by the mysterious Hermit, who seeks to trade places with him in a bid to exonerate framed NYPD officer Kip Burland. Written by Harry Shorten and illustrated by Al Camy, this gripping tale unfolds with a deadly twist as the Skull manipulates the Hermit’s plan, using a slow-acting poison to alter his face, setting up a chilling game of identity and revenge. The cover, also by Al Camy, captures the tension with a stark, dramatic portrait of the Skull.

In a grim cell moments before execution, the Skull faces the Hermit, who claims to have a way to clear the falsely imprisoned Kip Burland. But the villain has a deadly twist: he plans to use a slow-acting poison to transform the Hermit into his own likeness, turning the hero’s sacrifice into a trap. With the fate of an innocent man hanging in the balance, the line between justice and deception blurs.
