In "The Red Shirt Ring," Lex's life hangs in the balance after a winged snake bite, forcing Blast to seek the blood of the mysterious "Unknown Horror" as a cure. Don Rico’s dynamic art brings this eerie, high-stakes quest to life, while Edd Ashe’s cover captures the story’s unsettling tone. A 10-cent comic from 1940, this issue stands as a standout in the early Weird Comics series.
